[PATCH v5 3/4] MIPS: Refactor early_parse_memmap() to fix memmap= parameter

[Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt,
the kernel command-line parameter memmap= means "Force usage
of a specific region of memory", but when add "memmap=3G@64M"
to the command-line, kernel boot hangs in sparse_init().

In order to support memmap=limit@base, refactor the function
early_parse_memmap() to limit the memory region.

With this patch, when add "memmap=3G@64M" to the command-line,
the kernel boots successfully, we can see the following messages:

  [    0.000000] Memory limited to 64MB-3136MB
  ...
  [    0.000000] Early memory node ranges
  [    0.000000]   node   0: [mem 0x0000000004000000-0x000000000effffff]
  [    0.000000]   node   0: [mem 0x0000000090200000-0x00000000ffffffff]
  [    0.000000]   node   0: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x00000001653fffff]
  ...
  [    0.000000] Memory: 3070816K/3147776K available (...)

After login, the output of free command is consistent with the
above log.
