Make sure that highmem pages are not added to symlink page cache

Browse Source 
inode_nohighmem() is sufficient to make sure that page_get_link()
won't try to allocate a highmem page.  Moreover, it is sufficient
to make sure that page_symlink/__page_symlink won't do the same
thing.  However, any filesystem that manually preseeds the symlink's
page cache upon symlink(2) needs to make sure that the page it
inserts there won't be a highmem one.

Fortunately, only nfs and shmem have run afoul of that...

symlinks. That includes any preseeding that might be done during symlink
creation. __page_symlink() will honour the mapping gfp flags, so once
you've done inode_nohighmem() it's safe to use, but if you allocate and
insert the page manually, make sure to use the right gfp flags.
