[PATCH 2.6.21-rc1-mm1] add check_highest_zone to build_zonelists_in_zone_order

We missed this in the "change zone order" series.  We need to record
the highest populated zone, just as build_zonelists_node() does.
Memory policies apply only to this zone.  Without this, we'll be
applying policy to all zones, including DMA, I think.  Not having
thought about it much, I can't claim to understand the downside of
doing so.

Also, display selected "policy zone" during boot or reconfig
of zonelist order, if 'NUMA.  Inquiring minds [might] want to know...

Cleanup:  remove stale comment in set_zonelist_order()
