[PATCH 1/4][v2] x86, hibernate: Fix nosave_regions setup for hibernation

From: Zhimin Gu <kookoo.gu@xxxxxxxxx>

On 32bit systems, nosave_regions(non RAM areas) located between
max_low_pfn and max_pfn are not excluded from hibernation snapshot
currently, which may result in a machine check exception when
trying to access these unsafe regions during hibernation:

This is because on 32bit systems, pages above max_low_pfn are regarded
as high memeory, and accessing unsafe pages might cause expected MCE.
On the problematic 32bit system, there are reserved memory above low
memory, which triggered the MCE:

Fix this problem by changing pfn limit from max_low_pfn to max_pfn.
This fix does not impact 64bit system because on 64bit max_low_pfn
is the same as max_pfn.
