From: Wanpeng Li <liwanp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit cea27eb2a202959783f81254c48c250ddd80e129 upstream.

The logic for the memory-remove code fails to correctly account the
Total High Memory when a memory block which contains High Memory is
offlined as shown in the example below.  The following patch fixes it.

Before logic memory remove:

MemTotal:        7603740 kB
MemFree:         6329612 kB
Buffers:           94352 kB

Inactive(file):   296272 kB
Unevictable:           0 kB
Mlocked:               0 kB
HighTotal:       7294672 kB
HighFree:        5704696 kB
LowTotal:         309068 kB
LowFree:          624916 kB

After logic memory remove:

MemTotal:        7079452 kB
MemFree:         5805976 kB
Buffers:           94372 kB
