arm64/mm: Fix Boot panic on Ampere Altra
When the range of present physical memory is sufficiently small enough and the reserved address space for the linear map is sufficiently large enough, The linear map base address is randomized in arm64_memblock_init(). Prior to commit 62cffa4 ("arm64/mm: Override PARange for !LPA2 and use it consistently"), we decided if the sizes were suitable with the help of the raw mmfr0.parange. But the commit changed this to use the sanitized version instead. But the function runs before the register has been sanitized so this returns 0, interpreted as a parange of 32 bits. Some fun wrapping occurs and the logic concludes that there is enough room to randomize the linear map base address, when really there isn't. So the top of the linear map ends up outside the reserved address space. Since the PA range cannot be overridden in the first place, restore the mmfr0 reading logic to its state prior to 62cffa4, where the raw register value is used.
