[PATCH v2] ARC: Use max_high_pfn as a HIGHMEM zone border

From: Vladimir Isaev
Date: Tue Apr 27 2021 - 08:14:15 EST


Commit 4af22ded0ecf ("arc: fix memory initialization for systems
with two memory banks") fixed highmem, but for the PAE case it causes
bug messages:

BUG: Bad page state in process swapper pfn:80000

page dumped because: nonzero mapcount

Stack Trace:
arc_unwind_core+0xe8/0x118
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

This is because the fix expects highmem to be always less than
lowmem and uses min_low_pfn as an upper zone border for highmem.

max_high_pfn should be ok for both highmem and highmem+PAE cases.
