mm/page_alloc: fix memory accept before watermarks gets initialized
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.
