Suren Baghdasaryan a7d23b1355 mm/pagealloc: sysctl: change watermark_scale_factor max limit to 30%
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988479

[ Upstream commit 39c65a94cd ]

For embedded systems with low total memory, having to run applications
with relatively large memory requirements, 10% max limitation for
watermark_scale_factor poses an issue of triggering direct reclaim every
time such application is started.  This results in slow application
startup times and bad end-user experience.

By increasing watermark_scale_factor max limit we allow vendors more
flexibility to choose the right level of kswapd aggressiveness for their
device and workload requirements.
