Yes, the oom message looks like this:

```
[   65.470256] 
oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_CPUSET,nodemask=(null),cpuset=test,mems_allowed=0,global_oom,task_memcg=/user.slice/user-0.slice/session-4.scope,task=memkiller,pid=1968,uid=0

Since memcgroup oom is mandatory, cpuset oom should preferably be 
mandatory as well. But we can still consider adding an option to user.

How about introduce `/proc/sys/vm/oom_in_cpuset`?
