[PATCH 6/7] mm/page_alloc.c: don't show protection in zone's ->lowmem_reserve[] for empty zone

[Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com>]

On one node, for lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[], it will show how
much memory is reserved in this lower zone to avoid excessive page
allocation from the relevant higher zone's fallback allocation.

However, currently lower zone's lowmem_reserve[] element will be filled
even though the relevant higher zone is empty. That doesnt' make sense
and can cause confusion.

E.g on node 0 of one system as below, it has zone
DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE/DEVICE, among them zone MOVABLE/DEVICE are the
highest and both are empty. In zone DMA/DMA32's protection array, we can
see that it has value for zone MOVABLE and DEVICE.

Here, clear out the element value in lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[] if the
relevant higher zone is empty.

And also replace space with tab in _deferred_grow_zone()
