mm/page_alloc: avoid overcounting bulk alloc in watermark check

alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() only fills NULL slots and already tracks how
many entries are pre-populated via nr_populated.

The fast watermark check was adding nr_pages unconditionally, which can
overestimate the demand.  Use (nr_pages - nr_populated) instead, as an
upper bound on the remaining pages this call can still allocate without
scanning the whole array.
