memblock: do not start bottom-up allocations with kernel_end

With kaslr the kernel image is placed at a random place, so starting the
bottom-up allocation with the kernel_end can result in an allocation
failure and a warning like this one:

  hugetlb_cma: reserve 2048 MiB, up to 2048 MiB per node
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  memblock: bottom-up allocation failed, memory hotremove may be affected

At the same time, the kernel image is protected with memblock_reserve(),
so we can just start searching at PAGE_SIZE.  In this case the bottom-up
allocation has the same chances to success as a top-down allocation, so
there is no reason to fallback in the case of a failure.  All together it
simplifies the logic.
