proc: meminfo: estimate available memory more conservatively
The MemAvailable item in /proc/meminfo is to give users a hint of how much memory is allocatable without causing swapping, so it excludes the zones' low watermarks as unavailable to userspace. However, for a userspace allocation, kswapd will actually reclaim until the free pages hit a combination of the high watermark and the page allocator's lowmem protection that keeps a certain amount of DMA and DMA32 memory from userspace as well. Subtract the full amount we know to be unavailable to userspace from the number of free pages when calculating MemAvailable.
