Subject: [34-longterm 063/209] netfilter: nf_conntrack: allow nf_ct_alloc_hashtable() to get highmem pages

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 6b1686a71e3158d3c5f125260effce171cc7852b upstream.

commit ea781f197d6a8 (use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and get rid of call_rcu())
did a mistake in __vmalloc() call in nf_ct_alloc_hashtable().

I forgot to add __GFP_HIGHMEM, so pages were taken from LOWMEM only.
