For oom_score_adj values in the range [942,999], the current
calculations will print 16 for oom_adj. This patch simply limits the
output so output is inline with docs.

v2: moved the change to after put task to make sure the task is
    released asap

OK, this seems to be broken since the scaling has been introduced.
oom_score is deprecated but it is true that the fix is trivial.
Now that you have added this clamping we can drop the oom_score_adj ==
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX branch as well.

Have you found out this by code inspeciton or some userspace actually
cares?

Anyway
