powerpc/mm: Move CMA reservations after initmem_init()
After commit 11ac3e87ce09 ("mm: cma: use pageblock_order as the single alignment") there is an error at boot about the KVM CMA reservation failing, eg: kvm_cma_reserve: reserving 6553 MiB for global area cma: Failed to reserve 6553 MiB That makes it impossible to start KVM guests using the hash MMU with more than 2G of memory, because the VM is unable to allocate a large enough region for the hash page table, eg: $ qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -M pseries -m 4G ... qemu-system-ppc64: Failed to allocate KVM HPT of order 25: Cannot allocate memory Aneesh pointed out that this happens because when kvm_cma_reserve() is called, pageblock_order has not been initialised yet, and is still zero, causing the checks in cma_init_reserved_mem() against CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_PAGES to fail. Fix it by moving the call to kvm_cma_reserve() after initmem_init(). The pageblock_order is initialised in sparse_init() which is called from initmem_init(). Also move the hugetlb CMA reservation.
