virtio: Do not drop __GFP_HIGH in alloc_indirect
b92b1b89a33c ("virtio: force vring descriptors to be allocated from lowmem") tried to exclude highmem pages for descriptors so it cleared __GFP_HIGHMEM from a given gfp mask. The patch also cleared __GFP_HIGH which doesn't make much sense for this fix because __GFP_HIGH only controls access to memory reserves and it doesn't have any influence on the zone selection. Some of the call paths use GFP_ATOMIC and dropping __GFP_HIGH will reduce their changes for success because the lack of access to memory reserves.
