dm: use __GFP_HIGHMEM in __vmalloc
Use __GFP_HIGHMEM in __vmalloc. Pages allocated with __vmalloc can be allocated in high memory that is not directly mapped to kernel space, so use __GFP_HIGHMEM just like vmalloc does. This patch reduces memory pressure slightly because pages can be allocated in the high zone. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
