Roman Gushchin 1897a8f0ef memblock: do not start bottom-up allocations with kernel_end
[ Upstream commit 2dcb3964544177c51853a210b6ad400de78ef17d ]

With kaslr the kernel image is placed at a random place, so starting the
bottom-up allocation with the kernel_end can result in an allocation
failure and a warning like this one:

  hugetlb_cma: reserve 2048 MiB, up to 2048 MiB per node
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  memblock: bottom-up allocation failed, memory hotremove may be affected

  ---[ end trace f151227d0b39be70 ]---

At the same time, the kernel image is protected with memblock_reserve(),
so we can just start searching at PAGE_SIZE.  In this case the bottom-up
allocation has the same chances to success as a top-down allocation, so
there is no reason to fallback in the case of a failure.  All together it
simplifies the logic.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
