mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages

Browse Source 
Watermarks have to be checked on every allocation including the number
of pages being allocated and whether reserves can be accessed.  The
reserves only matter if memory is limited and the free_pages adjustment
only applies to high-order pages.  This patch adds a shortcut for
order-0 pages that avoids numerous calculations if there is plenty of
free memory yielding the following performance difference in a page
allocator microbenchmark;
