lowmemorykiller: Account for highmem during kswapd reclaim
Currently most memory reclaim is done through kswapd. Since kswapd uses a gfp mask of GFP_KERNEL, and because the lowmemorykiller is zone aware, the lowmemorykiller will ignore highmem most of the time. This results in the lowmemorykiller being overly aggressive. The fix to this issue is to allow the lowmemorykiller to count highmem when being called by the kswapd if the lowmem watermarks are satisfied.
