Vincent Chen d8c7f015d1 riscv: set max_pfn to the PFN of the last page
commit c749bb2d554825e007cbc43b791f54e124dadfce upstream.

The current max_pfn equals to zero. In this case, I found it caused users
cannot get some page information through /proc such as kpagecount in v5.6
kernel because of new sanity checks. The following message is displayed by
stress-ng test suite with the command "stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t
1" on HiFive unleashed board.

 # stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1

After applying this patch, the kernel can pass the test.

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.
