mm: Add min_free_order_shift tunable.
By default the kernel tries to keep half as much memory free at each order as it does for one order below. This can be too agressive when running without swap. Change-Id: I5efc1a0b50f41ff3ac71e92d2efd175dedd54ead Signed-off-by: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com>
