[PATCH] mm: optimize PageHighMem() check

[Vineet Gupta]

This came up when implementing HIHGMEM/PAE40 for ARC.
The kmap() / kmap_atomic() generated code seemed needlessly bloated due
to the way PageHighMem() macro is implemented.
It derives the exact zone for page and then does pointer subtraction
with first zone to infer the zone_type.
The pointer arithmatic in turn generates the code bloat.

PageHighMem(page)
  is_highmem(page_zone(page))
     zone_off = (char *)zone - (char *)zone->zone_pgdat->node_zones

Instead use is_highmem_idx() to work on zone_type available in page flags

80756364:	breq       r2,0x548,80756378 <kmap+0x48>

   ----- After  -----
80756330:	mov_s      r13,r0
80756332:	ld_s       r2,[r13,0]
80756334:	lsr_s      r2,r2,30
80756336:	sub_s      r2,r2,1
80756338:	brlo       r2,2,80756348 <kmap+0x30>

For x86 defconfig build (32 bit only) it saves around 900 bytes.
For ARC defconfig with HIGHMEM, it saved around 2K bytes.
