Vlastimil Babka 6a13b56537 mm/mempool: fix poisoning order>0 pages with HIGHMEM
commit ec33b59542 upstream.

The kernel test has reported:

Christoph found out this is due to the poisoning code not dealing
properly with CONFIG_HIGHMEM because only the first page is mapped but
then the whole potentially high-order page is accessed.

We could give up on HIGHMEM here, but it's straightforward to fix this
with a loop that's mapping, poisoning or checking and unmapping
individual pages.
