Since commit 8219fc48a(mm: node_states: introduce N_MEMORY),
we introduced N_MEMORY, now N_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has any memory,
and N_HIGH_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has normal or high memory.
The code here need to handle with the nodes which have memory,
we should use N_MEMORY instead.

But this very same commit also says:
"
A.example 2) mm/page_cgroup.c use N_HIGH_MEMORY twice:
One is in page_cgroup_init(void):
for_each_node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY) {
It means if the node have memory, we will allocate page_cgroup map for
the node. We should use N_MEMORY instead here to gaim more clearly.
The second using is in alloc_page_cgroup():
if (node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY))
addr = vzalloc_node(size, nid);
It means if the node has high or normal memory that can be allocated
from kernel. We should keep N_HIGH_MEMORY here, and it will be better
if the "any memory" semantic of N_HIGH_MEMORY is removed.
"
Which to me sounds like N_HIGH_MEMORY should be kept here. To be honest,
the distinction is not entirely clear to me. It was supposed to make
code cleaner but it apparently causes confusion.
It would also help if you CCed Lai Jiangshan who has introduced this
distinction. CCed now.
I wasn't CCed on the rest of the series but if you do the same
conversion, please make sure that this is not the case for others as
well.

Hi Michal,
You are right, here we need normal or high memory, but not movable memory,
so N_HIGH_MEMORY should be kept here, the same as other patches, please drop this series.
Thank you for your point out.
Thanks,
Jianguo Wu.
