Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ARM: CMA: avoid double mapping to the CMA area if CONFIG_HIGHMEM = y

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@....com>

CMA area is now managed by the separate zone, ZONE_MOVABLE,
to fix many MM related problems. In this implementation, if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM = y, then ZONE_MOVABLE is considered as HIGHMEM and
the memory of the CMA area is also considered as HIGHMEM.
That means that they are considered as the page without direct mapping.
However, CMA area could be in a lowmem and the memory could have
direct mapping.

In ARM, when establishing a new mapping for DMA, direct mapping should
be cleared since two mapping with different cache policy could cause
unknown problem. With this patch, PageHighmem() for the CMA memory
located in lowmem returns true so that the function for DMA mapping
cannot notice whether it needs to clear direct mapping or not, correctly.
To handle this situation, this patch always clears direct mapping
for such CMA memory.
