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.

NAK. It would override min_free_kbytes set by user.
