Baoquan He 96a5c186ef mm/page_alloc.c: don't show protection in zone's ->lowmem_reserve[] for empty zone
On one node, for lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[], it will show how much
memory is reserved in this lower zone to avoid excessive page allocation
from the relevant higher zone's fallback allocation.

However, currently lower zone's lowmem_reserve[] element will be filled
even though the relevant higher zone is empty.  That doesnt' make sense
and can cause confusion.

E.g on node 0 of one system as below, it has zone
DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE/DEVICE, among them zone MOVABLE/DEVICE are the
highest and both are empty.  In zone DMA/DMA32's protection array, we can
see that it has value for zone MOVABLE and DEVICE.

Here, clear out the element value in lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[] if the
relevant higher zone is empty.

And also replace space with tab in _deferred_grow_zone()

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
