mm, page_alloc: fix a division by zero error when boosting watermarks v2

Yury Norov reported that an arm64 KVM instance could not boot since
after v5.0-rc1 and could addressed by reverting the patches

  1c30844d2dfe272d58c ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external
  73444bc4d8f92e46a20 ("mm, page_alloc: do not wake kswapd with zone lock held")

The problem is that a division by zero error is possible if boosting
occurs very early in boot if the system has very little memory.  This
patch avoids the division by zero error.
