x86: Fix S4 regression

Commit 4b239f458 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4
regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4
resume. It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20. But,
like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen.

This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory
assignment in the older way.

According to the previous discussion:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133161674120253&w=2
it seems that so far the best solution is just reverting it.

Takashi, could you help to test if the S4 regression is still
there after this patch?
