Changeset 7f1290f2f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages") tried to fix a
issue when calculating zone->present_pages, but it causes a regression to
32bit systems with HIGHMEM.  With that changeset,
reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to zero, and
fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate zone->present_pages
when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into the buddy allocator.
Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem allocator, all highmem
zones' present_pages becomes zero.

Actually there's no need to recalculate present_pages for the highmem zone
because the bootmem allocator never allocates pages from it.  So fix the
regression by skipping highmem in function reset_zone_present_pages() and
fixup_zone_present_pages().
