With your change, it seems we share most code for getting free_pages
between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. Only difference
between them is min calculation. If so, can we share most code between
them via introducing like __zone_watermark_free static inline function?
So, we didn't miss one place in future if we change something.
