Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc: Don't unconditonally use __GFP_HIGHMEM

Commit 19809c2da28a ("mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly")
added use of __GFP_HIGHMEM for allocations. vmalloc_32 may use
GFP_DMA/GFP_DMA32 which does not play nice with __GFP_HIGHMEM
and will drigger a BUG in gfp_zone. Only add __GFP_HIGHMEM if
we aren't using GFP_DMA/GFP_DMA32.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1482249
Fixes: 19809c2da28a ("mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly")
