MIPS: Fix max_low_pfn with disabled highmem
When low memory doesn't reach HIGHMEM_START (e.g. up to 256MB at PA=0 is
common) and highmem is present above HIGHMEM_START (e.g. on Malta the
RAM overlayed by the IO region is aliased at PA=0x90000000), max_low_pfn
will be initially calculated very large and then clipped down to
HIGHMEM_START.
This causes crashes when reading /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
(i.e. CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING=y) when highmem is disabled. pfn_valid()
will compare against max_mapnr which is derived from max_low_pfn when
there is no highend_pfn set up, and will return true for PFNs right up
to HIGHMEM_START, even though they are beyond the end of low memory and
no page structs will actually exist for these PFNs.
This is fixed by skipping high memory regions when initially calculating
max_low_pfn if highmem is disabled, so it doesn't get clipped too high.
We also clip regions which overlap the highmem boundary when highmem is
disabled, so that max_pfn doesn't extend into highmem either.
