Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm/memory-hotplug: fix lowmem count overflow when offline pages 

Logic memory-remove code fails to correctly account the Total High Memory 
when a memory block which contains High Memory is offlined as shown in the
example below. The following patch fixes it.

cat /proc/meminfo
