[PATCHv2 4.3-rc6] proc: fix convert from oom_score_adj to oom_adj

From: Hongjie Fang (方洪杰)

The oom_adj has been replaced by oom_score_adj in kernel,
but the /proc/pid/oom_adj is provided for legacy purposes.
When write/read a value into/from /proc/pid/oom_adj,
there is a transformation between oom_adj and oom_score_adj.

After writing a new value into /proc/pid/oom_adj, then read it.
The return value is a different value than you wrote.
Fix this by adding a adjustment factor.

Encountered the problem when I changed a task's oom_adj on
an Android smart phone. As follows,
1. # cat /proc/1450/oom_adj
15
2. # echo 10 > /proc/1450/oom_adj
3. # cat /proc/1450/oom_adj
9
