Serge Semin 4705a9fc50 mips: Fix max_mapnr being uninitialized on early stages
[ Upstream commit e1a9ae45736989c972a8d1c151bc390678ae6205 ]

max_mapnr variable is utilized in the pfn_valid() method in order to
determine the upper PFN space boundary. Having it uninitialized
effectively makes any PFN passed to that method invalid. That in its turn
causes the kernel mm-subsystem occasion malfunctions even after the
max_mapnr variable is actually properly updated. For instance,
pfn_valid() is called in the init_unavailable_range() method in the
framework of the calls-chain on MIPS:
setup_arch()
+-> paging_init()
    +-> free_area_init()
        +-> memmap_init()
            +-> memmap_init_zone_range()
                +-> init_unavailable_range()

Since pfn_valid() always returns "false" value before max_mapnr is
initialized in the mem_init() method, any flatmem page-holes will be left
in the poisoned/uninitialized state including the IO-memory pages. Thus
any further attempts to map/remap the IO-memory by using MMU may fail.
In particular it happened in my case on attempt to map the SRAM region.
The kernel bootup procedure just crashed on the unhandled unaligned access
bug raised in the __update_cache() method:

> Unhandled kernel unaligned access[#1]:

Let's fix the problem by initializing the max_mapnr variable as soon as
the required data is available. In particular it can be done right in the
paging_init() method before free_area_init() is called since all the PFN
zone boundaries have already been calculated by that time.

README

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.
