Subject: [PATCH v4] mm/oom_kill: change comment and rename
 is_dump_unreclaim_slabs()

Change the comment of is_dump_unreclaim_slabs(), it just check
whether nr_unreclaimable slabs amount is greater than user
memory, and explain why we dump unreclaim slabs.

Rename it to should_dump_unreclaim_slab() maybe better.
