This looks because the mask of GFP_KERNEL is removed along with
the removal of mpage_alloc().

-static struct bio *
-mpage_alloc(struct block_device *bdev,
-               sector_t first_sector, int nr_vecs,
-               gfp_t gfp_flags)
-{
-       struct bio *bio;
-
-       /* Restrict the given (page cache) mask for slab allocations */
-       gfp_flags &= GFP_KERNEL;
-       bio = bio_alloc(gfp_flags, nr_vecs);

In read ahead mode, do_mpage_readpage() uses the gfp flag of page->mapping.

        if (args->is_readahead) {
                op |= REQ_RAHEAD;
                gfp = readahead_gfp_mask(page->mapping);
        } else {
                gfp = mapping_gfp_constraint(page->mapping, GFP_KERNEL);
        }

The default value of the gfp flag is set to GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE by
inode_init_always().
So, __GFP_HIGHMEM hits the gfp warning at bio_alloc() that
do_mpage_readpage() calls.
