[for 4.4 PATCH] 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.

Russell,

I question whether the kmap fallback is needed.  This is borrowed from
the current implementation of acpi_map(), and I added it since arm
ioremap warns if passed pfn_valid() addresses.
