riscv: fix overlap of allocated page and PTR_ERR
[ Upstream commit 994af1825a2aa286f4903ff64a1c7378b52defe6 ]
On riscv32, it is possible for the last page in virtual address space
(0xfffff000) to be allocated. This page overlaps with PTR_ERR, so that
shouldn't happen.
There is already some code to ensure memblock won't allocate the last page.
However, buddy allocator is left unchecked.
Fix this by reserving physical memory that would be mapped at virtual
addresses greater than 0xfffff000.
