[PATCH 2/2] arm: Add back maximum bank limit

[Laura Abbott]

Commit 1c2f87c22566cd057bc8cde10c37ae9da1a1bb76
(ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo) dropped the upper bound on
the number of memory banks that can be added as there was no
technical need in the kernel. It turns out though, some bootloaders
(specifically the arndale-octa exynos boards) may pass invalid memory
information and rely on the kernel to not parse this data. This is a
bug in the bootloader but we still need to work around this.
Re-introduce a maximum bank limit per board to prevent invalid banks
from being passed to the kernel.
