But what if that changes, will this function need to change as well?

Should not we have:
else
arg->status_change_nid_high = -1; ?

I prefer to have braces in else part as well when if has braces.

I think it is simpler to have something like this:
int nid = zone_to_nid(zone);
arg->status_change_nid_high = -1;
arg->status_change_nid = -1;
arg->status_change_nid = -1;
if (!node_state(nid, N_MEMORY))
arg->status_change_nid = nid;
if (zone_idx(zone) <= ZONE_NORMAL && !node_state(nid, N_NORMAL_MEMORY))
arg->status_change_nid_normal = nid;
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
if (zone_idx(zone) <= N_HIGH_MEMORY && !node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY))
arg->status_change_nid_high = nid;
#endif
