Subject: [PATCH] mm: show message when raising min_free_kbytes in THP

min_free_kbytes may be raised during THP's initialization. Sometimes,
this will change the value being set by user. Showing message will
clarify this confusion.

Showing the old value of min_free_kbytes according to Dave Hansen's
suggestion. This will give user the chance to restore old value of
min_free_kbytes.
