x86/setup: Call early_reserve_memory() earlier

Commit in Fixes introduced early_reserve_memory() to do all needed
initial memblock_reserve() calls in one function. Unfortunately, the call
of early_reserve_memory() is done too late for Xen dom0, as in some
cases a Xen hook called by e820__memory_setup() will need those memory
reservations to have happened already.

Move the call of early_reserve_memory() to the beginning of setup_arch()
in order to avoid such problems.
