Subject: x86: fix handling of the 'reservetop' boot option
From: Liang Li <liang.li@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter, the kernel
will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that relate to commit
8827247ff ("x86: don't define __this_fixmap_does_not_exist()").

The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of 'slot_virt[i]' was
initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init.  But later in setup_arch,
the function 'parse_early_param' will modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when
'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.

The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated value of
'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference old value from
slot_virt[slot] directly.
