ARM: 8590/1: sanity_check_meminfo(): avoid overflow on vmalloc_limit

To limit the amount of mapped low memory, we determine a physical address
boundary based on the start of the vmalloc area using __pa().
Strictly speaking, the vmalloc area location is arbitrary and does not
necessarily corresponds to a valid physical address. For example, if

	PAGE_OFFSET = 0x80000000
	PHYS_OFFSET = 0x90000000
	vmalloc_min = 0xf0000000

then __pa(vmalloc_min) overflows and returns a wrapped 0 when phys_addr_t
is a 32-bit type. Then the code that follows determines that the entire
physical memory is above that boundary and no low memory gets mapped at
all:

|[...]
|Machine model: Freescale i.MX51 NA04 Board
|Ignoring RAM at 0x90000000-0xb0000000 (!CONFIG_HIGHMEM)
|Consider using a HIGHMEM enabled kernel.

To avoid this problem let's make vmalloc_limit a 64-bit value all the
time and determine that boundary explicitly without using __pa().
