Add a notifer chain to the out of memory killer. If one of the registered callbacks could release some memory, do not kill the process but return and retry the allocation that forced the oom killer to run. The purpose of the notifier is to add a safety net in the presence of memory ballooners. If the resource manager inflated the balloon to a size where memory allocations can not be satisfied anymore, it is better to deflate the balloon a bit instead of killing processes. The implementation for the s390 ballooner is included.
