[GIT PULL] memremap fix for 4.3

Hi Linus, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes

...to receive a small fixlet for 4.3.

The new memremap() api introduced in the 4.3 cycle to unify/replace
ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt() is mishandling the highmem case.  This
patch has received a build success notification from a 0day-kbuild-robot
run and has been out for a review for a day.  Russell has not had a
chance to weigh in on it yet.

I do not think the usage of kmap is strictly necessary as we should be
able to fall back to ioremap_cache(), but I include it for two reasons:

1/ ARM ioremap() will WARN if passed a pfn_valid() address.

2/ acpi_map() carries a similar kmap fallback, and that quirk can now be
centrally carried in this common routine.

    memremap: fix highmem support
    
    Currently memremap checks if the range is "System RAM" and returns the
    kernel linear address.  This is broken for highmem platforms where a
    range may be "System RAM", but is not part of the kernel linear mapping.
    Similar to acpi_map(), use kmap() for PAGE_SIZE memremap() requests for
    highmem, and fall back to ioremap_cache() otherwise.
    
    The impact of this bug is low for now since the pmem driver is the only
    user of memremap(), but this is important to fix before more conversions
    to memremap arrive in 4.4.
