vmscan: check high watermark after shrink zone

Kswapd checks that zone has sufficient pages free via zone_watermark_ok().

If any zone doesn't have enough pages, we set all_zones_ok to zero.
!all_zone_ok makes kswapd retry rather than sleeping.

I think the watermark check before shrink_zone() is pointless.  Only after
kswapd has tried to shrink the zone is the check meaningful.

Move the check to after the call to shrink_zone().
