Octeon: fix broken plat_mem_setup()

Upstream patch abe77f90dc9c65a7c9a4d61c2cbb8db4d5566e4f (MIPS: Octeon: Add kexec
and kdump support) seems to be untested and broken Linux 3.8 on Octeon -- in
comparison with 3.7 Linux crashes with

[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

There are at least couple of issues in the patch:

1. reason for add_memory_region(memory, mem_alloc_size, BOOT_MEM_RAM) instead of
add_memory_region(memory, size, BOOT_MEM_RAM) is unclear, especially because it
will discard corrections performed by two preceding calls to memory_exclude_page().
This is fixed using size again instead of mem_alloc_size, moreover, block sizes
calculation could be simplified.

2. add_memory_region(kernel_start, kernel_size, BOOT_MEM_RAM) marks kernel body
as RAM available for allocation, that's why the kernel later crashes overwritting
itself. Marking it as BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM solves the crash and still allows to load
the same kernel with kexec (tested also).

Changes in V2:
* corrected "end" calculation, simplified "size" calculation
* Mapped the kernel correctly as INIT RAM, instead of throwing this code out

As a result, kernel not only boots succefully, but also able to load itself
with "kexec -l <image>".
