x86, mm: Add alloc_low_pages(num)
32bit kmap mapping needs pages to be used for low to high.
At this point those pages are still from pgt_buf_* from BRK, so it is
ok now.
But we want to move early_ioremap_page_table_range_init() out of
init_memory_mapping() and only call it one time later, that will
make page_table_range_init/page_table_kmap_check/alloc_low_page to
use memblock to get page.
memblock allocation for pages are from high to low.
So will get panic from page_table_kmap_check() that has BUG_ON to do
ordering checking.
This patch add alloc_low_pages to make it possible to allocate serveral
pages at first, and hand out pages one by one from low to high.
