Subject: [PATCH] mm: Set min_free_kbytes with user_min_free_kbytes when user_min_free_kbytes is preferred

The 'min_free_kbytes' and 'user_min_free_kbytes' maybe inconsistent
after a few times of memory hotplug.
When 'new_min_free_kbytes' is not larger than 'user_min_free_kbytes',
set 'min_free_kbytes' with 'user_min_free_kbytes' rather than leave
it as the 'new_min_free_kbytes' calculated for the last time.
