This is a quick and dirty patch and hack to solve some memory allocation
issues that appeared at CMA v17 after switching migration code from
hotplug to memory compaction. Especially the issue with watermark
adjustment need a real fix instead of disabling the code.

Hello,
This patch fixes the issues that have been reported recently. It should
be considered only as a temporary solution until a new version of CMA
patches is ready.
Best regards
