The generic OOM message would give you a stack dump but not as specific
/ clear as the message you deleted.

Also, the original intent of this check was to check for things like

printk("Out of memory");

which was clearly redundant. The message we print here is not that.

See https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/10/382 .
