mm: cma: allocate pages from CMA if NR_FREE_PAGES approaches low water mark
It has been observed that system tends to keep a lot of CMA free pages
even in very high memory pressure use cases. The CMA fallback for movable
pages is used very rarely, only when system is completely pruned from
MOVABLE pages, what usually means that the out-of-memory even will be
triggered very soon. To avoid such situation and make better use of CMA
pages, a heuristics is introduced which turns on CMA fallback for movable
pages when the real number of free pages (excluding CMA free pages)
approaches low water mark.
