Thanks for the review.
Yes, indeed, We can further optimize this by following the approach
in commit 82d9ff648c6c. 

It seems odd to still call set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() when the 
mode hasn't changed. Maybe this is to handle the case where the user
modified /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes in this timewindow?

I'll follow the existing logic and send a v2.
