x86, mm: setup page table in top-down



Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first.
Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until
all pages get mapped.

alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used
up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage.

Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges,
that will be updated when lower pages get mapped.

Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with
limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have
more mapped pages on hand.

We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done
in alloc_low_page() directly.

At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code.

-v2: update to after fix_xen change,
     also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it.
-v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end.
-v4: don't need fix_xen change now.
-v5: add changelog about moving about reserving pagetable to alloc_low_page.
