[PATCH 4/4] mm: skip to reserve pageblock crossed zone boundary for HIGHATOMIC

[Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>]

In CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, VM shares a pageblock_flags of a mem_section
between two zones if the pageblock cross zone boundaries. It means
a zone lock cannot protect pageblock migratype change's race.

It might be not a problem because migratetype inherently was racy
but intrdocuing with CMA, it was not true any more and have been fixed.
(I hope it should be solved more general approach however...)
And then, it's time for MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC.

More importantly, HIGHATOMIC migratetype is not big(i.e., 1%) reserve
in system so let's skip such crippled pageblock to try to reserve
full 1% free memory.
