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.
