mm/page_alloc: fix memory accept before watermarks gets initialized

commit 800f1059c99e2b39899bdc67a7593a7bea6375d8 upstream.

Watermarks are initialized during the postcore initcall.  Until then, all
watermarks are set to zero.  This causes cond_accept_memory() to
incorrectly skip memory acceptance because a watermark of 0 is always met.

This can lead to a premature OOM on boot.

To ensure progress, accept one MAX_ORDER page if the watermark is zero.
