mm/page_alloc: fix min_free_kbytes calculation regarding ZONE_MOVABLE

The current calculation of min_free_kbytes only uses ZONE_DMA and
ZONE_NORMAL pages,but the ZONE_MOVABLE zone->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] will
also divide part of min_free_kbytes.This will cause the min watermark of
ZONE_NORMAL to be too small in the presence of ZONE_MOVEABLE.

__GFP_HIGH and PF_MEMALLOC allocations usually don't need movable zone
pages, so just like ZONE_HIGHMEM, cap pages_min to a small value in
__setup_per_zone_wmarks().

On my testing machine with 16GB of memory (transparent hugepage is turned
off by default, and movablecore=12G is configured) The following is a
comparative test data of watermark_min

		no patch	add patch
ZONE_DMA	1		8
ZONE_DMA32	151		709
ZONE_NORMAL	233		1113
ZONE_MOVABLE	1434		128
min_free_kbytes	7288		7326
