[ 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

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.

Not sure if this is ready for stable yet (including stable branches 4.19
and 5.4), since it seems to uncover latent bugs in x86 early memory
reservation. I asked about this issue here:

If there are fixes for this that get merged, please make sure they get
tagged properly to go to the stable trees as well.
