[PATCH v7 12/12] x86: reserve setup_data ranges late after parsing memmap cmdline

Currently e820_reserve_setup_data is called before parsing early params,
it works in normal case. But for memmap=exactmap, the final memory ranges
are created after parsing memmap= cmdline params, so the previous
e820_reserve_setup_data has no effect. For example, setup_data ranges
will still be marked as normal system ram, thus when later sysfs driver
ioremap them kernel will warn about mapping normal ram.

This patch fix it by moving the e820_reserve_setup_data callback after
parsing early params so they can be set as reserved ranges and later
ioremap will be fine with it.
