There is no need to kmap*() pages which are guaranteed to come from
ZONE_NORMAL (or lower). Linux has currently several call sites of
kmap{,_atomic,_local_page}() on pages which are clearly known which can't
come from ZONE_HIGHMEM.
Therefore, add a paragraph to highmem.rst, to explain better that a plain
page_address() may be used for getting the address of pages which cannot
come from ZONE_HIGHMEM, although it is always safe to use
kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() also on those pages.
