[v4] mm: khugepaged: avoid overriding min_free_kbytes set by user

[Vijay Balakrishna <vijayb@linux.microsoft.com>]

set_recommended_min_free_kbytes need to honor min_free_kbytes set by the
user.  Post start-of-day THP enable or memory hotplug operations can
lose user specified min_free_kbytes, in particular when it is higher than
calculated recommended value.
