[PATCH] mmtom : add VM_BUG_ON in __get_free_pages

[MinChan Kim]

The __get_free_pages is used in many place. 
Also, driver developers can use it freely due to export function.
Some developers might use it to allocate high pages by mistake. 

The __get_free_pages can allocate high page using alloc_pages, 
but it can't return linear address for high page.

Even worse, in this csse, caller can't free page which are there in high zone. 
So, It would be better to add VM_BUG_ON. 

It's based on mmtom 2009-02-27-13-54.
