This allows us to control the aggressiveness of the lower-zone defense algorithm. The `incremental min'. For workloads which are using a serious amount of mlocked memory, a few megabytes is not enough. So the `lower_zone_protection' tunable allows the administrator to increase the amount of protection which lower zones receive against allocations which _could_ use higher zones. The default value of lower_zone_protection is zero, giving unchanged behaviour. We should not normally make large amounts of memory unavailable for pagecache just in case someone mlocks many hundreds of megabytes.
