mm: fix zone_watermark_ok_safe() accounting of isolated pages

Commit 702d1a6e ("memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever
problem") added an isolated pageblocks counter (nr_pageblock_isolate in
struct zone) and used it to adjust free pages counter in
zone_watermark_ok_safe() to prevent kswapd looping forever problem.

Then later, commit 2139cbe6

 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages")
fixed accounting of isolated pages in global free pages counter.  It
made the previous zone_watermark_ok_safe() fix unnecessary and
potentially harmful (cause now isolated pages may be accounted twice
making free pages counter incorrect).

This patch removes the special isolated pageblocks counter altogether
which fixes zone_watermark_ok_safe() free pages check.
