[RFC PATCH 8/9] mm/zbud: allow clients to use highmem pages

[Heesub Shin <heesub.shin@samsung.com>]

Now that all fields for the internal data structure of zbud are moved to
struct page, there is no reason to restrict zbud pages to be allocated
only in lowmem. This patch allows to use highmem pages for zbud pages.
Pages from highmem are mapped using kmap_atomic() before accessing.
