This reverts commit 379b03b7fa05f7db521b7732a52692448a3c34fe.

Commit 864b75f9d6b0 ("mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock
alignment") introduced boot hang issues in arm/arm64 machines, so
Ard Biesheuvel reverted in commit 3e04040df6d4. But there is a
preparation patch for commit 864b75f9d6b0. So just revert it for
the sake of caution.
Why? Is there anything wrong with this one?
I don't think there might be anything wrong. Justin for the sake of caution.
Please ignore this patch if you prefer to keep 379b03b7fa.
But seems parameter *max_pfn* is useless and can be removed in this case?

Cheers,
Jia
