[[PATCH]] mm: khugepaged: recalculate min_free_kbytes after memory hotplug as expected by khugepaged

[Vijay Balakrishna <vijayb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When memory is hotplug added or removed the min_free_kbytes must be
recalculated based on what is expected by khugepaged.  Currently
after hotplug, min_free_kbytes will be set to a lower default and higher
default set when THP enabled is lost. This leaves the system with small
min_free_kbytes which isn't suitable for systems especially with network
intensive loads.  Typical failure symptoms include HW WATCHDOG reset,
soft lockup hang notices, NETDEVICE WATCHDOG timeouts, and OOM process
kills.

Fixes: f000565adb77 ("thp: set recommended min free kbytes")
