... when printing the value.

Your previous patch has changed the stored value while this one only
changes the presented value. The previous one was more correct IMO
but in reality the difference (+-1) in oom_score_adj should be hardly
noticeable and nobody has complained about the current scaling for years
so this approach is probably more conservative.
