Ah damn, that's why a simple compile test won't catch this typo.

It's actually just CONFIG_HIGHMEM (who needs consistency anyway?). Patch
below. I didn't rename the IFDEF_ZONE_HIGHMEM as it's internal.

When looking at zone_names I've noticed a CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE. I assume
compaction can't be run on this one so I'll ignore it. At worst the
tracepoint string would be missing.

Yeah I've heard about it on last year's Plumbers. Thanks for catching this!

Subject: [PATCH] mm, compaction: export tracepoints zone names to
 userspace-fix

Through undertaker-checkpatch it was reported that HighMem would be missing
in the tracepoint output due to checking CONFIG_ZONE_HIGHMEM_ instead of
CONFIG_HIGHMEM. Fix it.
