[patch] mm: always set nodes with regular memory in N_NORMAL_MEMORY

[David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>]

N_NORMAL_MEMORY is intended to include all nodes that have present memory 
in regular zones, that is, zones below ZONE_HIGHMEM.  This should be done 
regardless of whether CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set or not.

This fixes ia64 so that the nodes get set appropriately in the nodemask 
for DISCONTIGMEM and mips if it does not enable CONFIG_HIGHMEM even for 
32-bit kernels.

If N_NORMAL_MEMORY is not accurate, slub may encounter errors since it 
relies on this nodemask to setup kmem_cache_node data structures for each 
cache.
