[PATCH 6.6 11/26] mm/page_alloc: fix memory accept before watermarks gets initialized

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

commit 800f1059c99e2b39899bdc67a7593a7bea6375d8 upstream.

Watermarks are initialized during the postcore initcall.  Until then, all
watermarks are set to zero.  This causes cond_accept_memory() to
incorrectly skip memory acceptance because a watermark of 0 is always met.

This can lead to a premature OOM on boot.

To ensure progress, accept one MAX_ORDER page if the watermark is zero.
