mm: update mark_victim tracepoints fields

[ Upstream commit 72ba14deb40a9e9668ec5e66a341ed657e5215c2 ]

The current implementation of the mark_victim tracepoint provides only the
process ID (pid) of the victim process.  This limitation poses challenges
for userspace tools requiring real-time OOM analysis and intervention.
Although this information is available from the kernel logs, it’s not
the appropriate format to provide OOM notifications.  In Android, BPF
programs are used with the mark_victim trace events to notify userspace of
an OOM kill.  For consistency, update the trace event to include the same
information about the OOMed victim as the kernel logs.

- UID
   In Android each installed application has a unique UID. Including
   the `uid` assists in correlating OOM events with specific apps.

- Process Name (comm)
   Enables identification of the affected process.

- OOM Score
  Will allow userspace to get additional insight of the relative kill
  priority of the OOM victim. In Android, the oom_score_adj is used to
  categorize app state (foreground, background, etc.), which aids in
  analyzing user-perceptible impacts of OOM events [1].

- Total VM, RSS Stats, and pgtables
  Amount of memory used by the victim that will, potentially, be freed up
  by killing it.
