[PATCH 2/3] mm, page_alloc: Disable watermark boosting if THP is disabled at boot

[Mel Gorman]

Watermark boosting is intended to increase the success rate and reduce
latency of high-order allocations, particularly THP. If THP is disabled
at boot, then it makes sense to disable watermark boosting as well. While
there are other high-order allocations that potentially benefit, they
are relatively rare.
