Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: reclaim highmem zone if buffer_heads is over limit

We have been reclaimed highmem zone if buffer_heads is over limit
but [1] changed the behavior so it doesn't reclaim highmem zone
although buffer_heads is over the limit.
This patch restores the logic.

As well, [2] removed classzone_idx so we don't need code related to
it. This patch cleans it up.

[1] commit 6b4f7799c6a5 ("mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone()")
[2] commit 5acbd3bfc93b ("mm, oom: rework oom detection")
