s390/boot: fix mem_detect extended area allocation



Allocation of mem_detect extended area was not considered neither
in commit 9641b8cc ("s390/ipl: read IPL report at early boot")
nor in commit b2d24b97 ("s390/kernel: add support for kernel address
space layout randomization (KASLR)"). As a result mem_detect extended
theoretically may overlap with ipl report or randomized kernel image
position. But as mem_detect code will allocate extended area only
upon exceeding 255 online regions (which should alternate with offline
memory regions) it is not seen in practice.

To make sure mem_detect extended area does not overlap with ipl report
or randomized kernel position extend usage of "safe_addr". Make initrd
handling and mem_detect extended area allocation code move it further
right and make KASLR takes in into consideration as well.

Fixes: 9641b8cc ("s390/ipl: read IPL report at early boot")
Fixes: b2d24b97 ("s390/kernel: add support for kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR)")
