Subject: [PATCH] mm: Honor min_free_kbytes set by user

min_free_kbytes is updated during memory hotplug (by init_per_zone_wmark_min)
currently which is right thing to do in most cases but this could be
unexpected if admin increased the value to prevent from allocation
failures and the new min_free_kbytes would be decreased as a result of
memory hotadd.

This patch saves the user defined value and allows updating
min_free_kbytes only if it is higher than the saved one.

A warning is printed when the new value is ignored.

Thank you. I have similar patch and I have been bothered long time to
refine and post it.
Yes, current logic is not memory hotplug aware and could be dangerous.
