Lovely...  So you somehow getting a highmem page out
                page = read_cache_page(&inode->i_data, 0,
                                        (filler_t *)nfs_symlink_filler, inode);
                if (IS_ERR(page))
                        return ERR_CAST(page);
and that - after
                        inode_nohighmem(inode);
(otherwise you wouldn't get nfs_symlink_inode_operations on that inode).

Could you add
	printk(KERN_ERR "i_data = %p, i_mapping = %p, flags: %lx\n",
		&inode->i_data,
		inode->i_mapping,
		(unsigned long)inode->i_data.flags);
right before the return from nfs_get_link() and see what it prints?
