brd: re-enable __GFP_HIGHMEM in brd_insert_page()
__GFP_HIGHMEM is disabled if dax is enabled on brd, however dax support for brd has been removed since commit (7a862fbbdec6 "brd: remove dax support"), so restore __GFP_HIGHMEM in brd_insert_page(). Also remove the no longer applicable comments about DAX and highmem. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 7a862fbbdec6 ("brd: remove dax support") Signed-off-by: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
