Right now, ZONE_DEVICE memory is always set PG_reserved. We want to
change that.

Let's make sure that the logic in the function won't change. Once we no
longer set these pages to reserved, we can rework this function to
perform separate checks for ZONE_DEVICE (split from PG_reserved checks).

@Kees, would it be okay to stop checking against ZONE_DEVICE pages here or is there a good rationale behind this?

(I would turn this patch into a simple update of the comment if we agree that we don't care)
