oom: improve commentary in dump_tasks()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The comments in dump_tasks() should be updated to be more clear about why
tasks are filtered and how they are filtered by its argument.

An unnecessary comment concerning a check for is_global_init() is removed
since it isn't of importance.
