Please try to avoid external references in the changelog as much as
possible.

You meant to say
"to just dump all slab caches which excess 10% of the total memory."

While we are at it. Abusing calc_mem_size seems to be rather clumsy and
tt is not nodemask aware so you the whole thing is dubious for NUMA
constrained OOMs.

The more I think about this the more I am convinced that this is just
fiddling with the code without a good reason and without much better
outcome.
