x86/e820: Discard high memory that can't be addressed by 32-bit systems
Dave Hansen reports the following crash on a 32-bit system with
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y and CONFIG_X86_PAE=y:
> 0xf75fe000 is the mem_map[] entry for the first page >4GB. It
> obviously wasn't allocated, thus the oops.

The mem_map[] is allocated up to the end of ZONE_HIGHMEM which is defined
by max_pfn.
The bug was introduced by this recent commit:
6faea34 ("arch, mm: streamline HIGHMEM freeing")
Previously, freeing of high memory was also clamped to the end of
ZONE_HIGHMEM but after this change, memblock_free_all() tries to
free memory above the of ZONE_HIGHMEM as well and that causes
access to mem_map[] entries beyond the end of the memory map.
To fix this, discard the memory after max_pfn from memblock on
32-bit systems so that core MM would be aware only of actually
usable memory.
Fixes: 6faea34 ("arch, mm: streamline HIGHMEM freeing")
