Subject: [PATCH] mpage: remove ineffective __GFP_HIGH flag

Since the commit 8a5c743e308dd ("mm, memcg: use consistent gfp flags
during readahead") mpage_alloc is clearing all the flag bits other than
bits in GFP_KERNEL internally. Simply remove __GFP_HIGH from the call to
mpage_alloc as it is cleared by it.
