The changelog for
6a6dccba2 ("mm: cma: don't replace lowmem pages with
highmem") mentioned that lowmem pages can be replaced by highmem pages
during CMA migration.
6a6dccba2 fixed that issue.
Quote from that changelog:
: The filesystem layer expects pages in the block device's mapping to not
: be in highmem (the mapping's gfp mask is set in bdget()), but CMA can
: currently replace lowmem pages with highmem pages, leading to crashes in
: filesystem code such as the one below:
:
: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Memory-hotplug has same problem as CMA has so the same fix can be applied
to memory-hotplug as well.
Fix it by reusing.
