page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast

zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f36 ("mm,
page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages").  The commit
simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional
calculation such like reducing watermark.

It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved.
This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free
pages.

Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min,
and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free.  Because
zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order
atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume
all the free pages.  Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on
allocation.

This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation.
The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed.
Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also
can be failed.

To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic
reserve.  If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately
like cma free, we may use it.  On this patch just use
nr_reserved_highatomic.  Additionally introduce
__zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between
zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok.

This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based
kernel.
