[PATCH] mm: set per-cpu-pages lower threshold to zero
Set the low water mark for hot pages in pcp to zero.
(akpm: for the life of me I cannot remember why we created pcp->low. Neither
can Martin and the changelog is silent. Maybe it was just a brainfart, but I
have this feeling that there was a reason. If not, we should remove the
fields completely. We'll see.)
