[PATCH v4] of: fdt: Scan /memreserve/ last

[Lucas Tanure]

Change the scanning /memreserve/ and /reserved-memory node order to fix
Kernel panic on Khadas Vim3 Board.

If /memreserve/ goes first, the memory is reserved, but nomap can't be
applied to the region. So the memory won't be used by Linux, but it is
still present in the linear map as normal memory, which allows
speculation. Legitimate access to adjacent pages will cause the CPU
to end up prefetching into them leading to Kernel panic.

So /reserved-memory node should go first, as it has a more updated
description of the memory regions and can apply flags, like nomap.
