Remove __GFP_HIGHMEM when requesting a page from DMA32 zone,

DMA constraints, move the check of whether to get a page from

change log

v1:
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/patch/20240806104733.2018783-1-xiaolei.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

v2:
   Modify the issue of not retaining GFP_USER in v1 and update the commit log.

v3:
   Use "priv->shm_gfp_mask = GFP_USER | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL | __GFP_NOWARN;"
instead of
   "priv->shm_gfp_mask = GFP_HIGHUSER | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL | __GFP_NOWARN;"
I don't understand this part of the changes in the new version. Why
should we drop the HIGHMEM bit always and not only in the case where
dma addressing is limited? This seems overly restrictive.

While reading the implementation of the dma_alloc_attrs() function,
except allocate memory from device coherent pool, the rest implementation
just mask out __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32 and __GFP_HIGHMEM anyway.

So ?


```
void *dma_alloc_attrs(struct device *dev, size_t size, dma_addr_t *dma_handle,
		gfp_t flag, unsigned long attrs)
{
	const struct dma_map_ops *ops = get_dma_ops(dev);
	void *cpu_addr;

	WARN_ON_ONCE(!dev->coherent_dma_mask);

	/*
	 * DMA allocations can never be turned back into a page pointer, so
	 * requesting compound pages doesn't make sense (and can't even be
	 * supported at all by various backends).
	 */
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(flag & __GFP_COMP))
		return NULL;

	if (dma_alloc_from_dev_coherent(dev, size, dma_handle, &cpu_addr))
		return cpu_addr;

	/* let the implementation decide on the zone to allocate from: */
	flag &= ~(__GFP_DMA | __GFP_DMA32 | __GFP_HIGHMEM);

	if (dma_alloc_direct(dev, ops))
		cpu_addr = dma_direct_alloc(dev, size, dma_handle, flag, attrs);
	else if (use_dma_iommu(dev))
		cpu_addr = iommu_dma_alloc(dev, size, dma_handle, flag, attrs);
	else if (ops->alloc)
		cpu_addr = ops->alloc(dev, size, dma_handle, flag, attrs);
	else
		return NULL;


	return cpu_addr;
}
```

Lucas

and move the check of whether to get a page from DMA32 to etnaviv_bind().
