[PATCH] mm, page_alloc: reset the zone->watermark_boost early

[Charan Teja Reddy]

Updating the zone watermarks by any means, like extra_free_kbytes,
min_free_kbytes, water_mark_scale_factor e.t.c, when watermark_boost is
set will result into the higher low and high watermarks than the user
asks. This can be avoided by resetting the zone->watermark_boost to zero
early.
