on X86, ZONE_DMA is very very small.
It is often no used at all.

Unfortunately,
when NR_ACTIVE==0, NR_INACTIVE==0, shrink_zone() try to reclaim 1 page.
because

    zone->nr_scan_active +=
        (zone_page_state(zone, NR_ACTIVE) >> priority) + 1;
                                                        ^^^^^

it cause unnecessary low memory notify ;-)
I fixed it.

        v5: new
