This is simply not true! OOM victim selection has changed in the
past and will be always a subject to changes in future. Current
implementation doesn't provide any externally controlable selection
policy and therefore the default can be assumed. Whatever that default
means now or in future. The only contract added here is the kill full
memcg if selected and that can be implemented on _any_ selection policy.
