__GFP_HIGHMEM is disabled if dax is enabled on brd, however
dax support for brd has been removed since commit (
7a862fbbdec6
"brd: remove dax support"), so restore __GFP_HIGHMEM in
brd_insert_page().
Also remove the no longer applicable comments about DAX and highmem.

- * Cannot support DAX and highmem, because our ->direct_access

- * If DAX was reworked to use pfns and kmap throughout, this
