memory-hotplug: don't replace lowmem pages with highmem
The changelog for commit 6a6dccba2fdc ("mm: cma: don't replace lowmem
pages with highmem") mentioned that lowmem pages can be replaced by
highmem pages during CMA migration. 6a6dccba2fdc fixed that issue.
Quote from that changelog:
: The filesystem layer expects pages in the block device's mapping to not
: be in highmem (the mapping's gfp mask is set in bdget()), but CMA can
: currently replace lowmem pages with highmem pages, leading to crashes in
: filesystem code such as the one below:
:
: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000400
: pgd = c0c98000
: [00000400] *pgd=00c91831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000

Memory-hotplug has same problem as CMA has so the same fix can be applied
to memory-hotplug as well.
Fix it by reusing.
