ARM64: mm: Restore memblock limit when map_mem finished.
In paging_init the memblock limit is set to restrict any addresses
returned by early_alloc to fit within the initial direct kernel
mapping in swapper_pg_dir. This allows map_mem to allocate puds,
pmds and ptes from the initial direct kernel mapping.
The limit stays low after paging_init() though, meaning any
bootmem allocations will be from a restricted subset of memory.
Gigabyte huge pages, for instance, are normally allocated from
bootmem as their order (18) is too large for the default buddy
allocator (MAX_ORDER = 11).
This patch restores the memblock limit when map_mem has finished,
allowing gigabyte huge pages (and other objects) to be allocated
from all of bootmem.
