[PATCH] arm64: mm: update SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 27 for 4k pagesize

From: Jisheng Zhang

On one of my platforms, linux is given 1152MB memory. With current
SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30, the reserved memmap is larger, it's a waste for
us. Inspired by disscusion[1], reducing the SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 27
which means 128M section size saves us about 14MB, a huge gain for
embeded memory constrained system.
