The commit f63661566fad (mm/page_alloc.c: clear out zone->lowmem_reserve[]
if the zone is empty) clear out zone->lowmem_reserve[] if zone is empty.
But when zone is not empty and sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[i] is set to zero,
zone_managed_pages(zone) is not counted in the managed_pages either. This is
inconsistent with the description of lowmen_reserve, so fix it.

Right, this is a good catch. Thanks for the fixing. 

Is it worth adding words in Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst
to notice this?

With this patch, It's consistent with the calculation description of zone[i]'s protection[j].

This is implicit in the description so I don't think it's necessary to notice this.
