Johannes Weiner abe5f97291 mm: page_alloc: fix zone allocation fairness on UP 
The zone allocation batches can easily underflow due to higher-order
allocations or spills to remote nodes.  On SMP that's fine, because
underflows are expected from concurrency and dealt with by returning 0.
But on UP, zone_page_state will just return a wrapped unsigned long,
which will get past the <= 0 check and then consider the zone eligible
until its watermarks are hit.

Commit 3a025760fc ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before
waking kswapd") already made the counter-resetting use
atomic_long_read() to accomodate underflows from remote spills, but it
didn't go all the way with it.

Make it clear that these batches are expected to go negative regardless
of concurrency, and use atomic_long_read() everywhere.

Fixes: 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy")
