[Yaowei Bai <bywxiaobai@163.com>]

Every zone's protection is calculated from managed_pages not
present_pages, to avoid misleading, correct it.

     32  (others).
 As above expression, they are reciprocal number of ratio.
-256 means 1/256. # of protection pages becomes about "0.39%" of total present
+256 means 1/256. # of protection pages becomes about "0.39%" of total managed
 pages of higher zones on the node.
 
 If you would like to protect more pages, smaller values are effective.
