When memory is hotplug added or removed the min_free_kbytes should 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 change restores min_free_kbytes
as expected for THP consumers.
Fixes: f000565adb77 ("thp: set recommended min free kbytes")

v4 -> v5
- changelog: must -> should [Michal Hocko]
v3 -> v4
- made changes to move khugepaged_min_free_kbytes_update into
init_per_zone_wmark_min and rested changes
[suggestion from Michal Hocko]
[v2 1/2]
- removed symptoms references from changelog
[v2 2/2]
- addressed following issues Michal Hocko raised:
. nr_free_buffer_pages can oveflow in int on very large machines
. min_free_kbytes can decrease the size theoretically
v1 -> v2
--------
- addressed issue Kirill A. Shutemov raised:
. changes would override min_free_kbytes set by user
