autonuma: fix watermark checking in migrate_balanced_pgdat()
When zone_watermark_ok() is called in migrate_balanced_pgdat() to check migration target node, the parameter classzone_idx (for requested zone) is specified as 0 (ZONE_DMA). But when allocating memory for autonuma in alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), the requested zone from GFP flags is ZONE_MOVABLE. That is, the requested zone is different. The size of lowmem_reserve for the different requested zone is different. And this may cause some issues. For example, in the zoneinfo of a test machine as below, Node 0, zone DMA32 pages free 61592 min 29 low 454 high 879 spanned 1044480 present 442306 managed 425921 protection: (0, 0, 62457, 62457, 62457) The free page number of ZONE_DMA32 is greater than "high watermark + lowmem_reserve[ZONE_DMA]", but less than "high watermark + lowmem_reserve[ZONE_MOVABLE]". And because __alloc_pages_node() in alloc_misplaced_dst_page() requests ZONE_MOVABLE, the zone_watermark_ok() on ZONE_DMA32 in migrate_balanced_pgdat() may always return true. So, autonuma may not stop even when memory pressure in node 0 is heavy. To fix the issue, ZONE_MOVABLE is used as parameter to call zone_watermark_ok() in migrate_balanced_pgdat(). This makes it same as requested zone in alloc_misplaced_dst_page(). So that migrate_balanced_pgdat() returns false when memory pressure is heavy.
