[PATCH] arm: Don't use memblock limit for the lowmem bound

[Laura Abbott]

From: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx>

The memblock limit is currently used in find_limits
to find the bounds for ZONE_NORMAL. The memblock
limit may need to be rounded down a PMD size to ensure
allocations are fully mapped though. This has the side
effect of reducing the amount of memory in ZONE_NORMAL.
Since we generally want to optimize for more lowmem, fix
this by using arm_lowmem_limit to calculate the bounds.
This what is used for actually mapping lowmem anyway.

Before:
# cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep managed
        managed  62920

After:
# cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep managed
        managed  63336
