page allocator: use allocation flags as an index to the zone watermark
ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, ALLOC_WMARK_LOW and ALLOC_WMARK_HIGH determin whether
pages_min, pages_low or pages_high is used as the zone watermark when
allocating the pages. Two branches in the allocator hotpath determine
which watermark to use.
This patch uses the flags as an array index into a watermark array that is
indexed with WMARK_* defines accessed via helpers. All call sites that
use zone->pages_* are updated to use the helpers for accessing the values
and the array offsets for setting.
