I am not entirely happy that this patch enables the cgroup behavior
unconditioanlly for cgroup v2 but later patch fixes that up. I do not
expect people are going to bisect oom workloads over these few commits
so this should be a big deal.

Anyway I still _strongly_ believe that the new heuristic is not
suitable for the default behavior and the opt-in is required. So my ack
is under this condition.
