 Subject: [PATCH] quicklists: Only consider memory that can be used
 with GFP_KERNEL
 
 patch 96990a4ae979df9e235d01097d6175759331e88c in mainline.
 
 Quicklists calculates the size of the quicklists based on the number of
 free pages.  This must be the number of free pages that can be allocated
 with GFP_KERNEL.  node_page_state() includes the pages in ZONE_HIGHMEM and
 ZONE_MOVABLE which may lead the quicklists to become too large causing OOM.
