[PATCH] mm: clear N_HIGH_MEMORY map before se set it again -v4

[Yinghai Lu]

SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size. The arch code may
decide to not activate such a node. However, currently the early boot code
sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes. These nodes therefore seem to be active
although these nodes have no present pages.

for 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too

v4: update description according to Christoph
