arm: fix valid_phys_addr_range() range check

Commit 1522ac3ec95ff0230e7aa516f86b674fdf72866c
("Fix virtual to physical translation macro corner cases")
breaks the end of memory check in valid_phys_addr_range().
The modified expression results in the apparent /dev/mem size
being 2 bytes smaller than what it actually is.

This patch reworks the expression to correctly check the address,
while maintaining use of a valid address to __pa().
