[PATCH] ARM:mm: define arch-specific IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER only in !SMP && !LPAE case

The arch-specific IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER is introduced in
commit: ff0daca([ARM] Add section support to ioremap) and
commit: a069c89 ([ARM] 3705/1: add supersection support to ioremap()).
But supersections and sections mappings are only used in !SMP && !LPAE case.
Otherwise, mapping is created using the usual 4K pages.

In most cases without !SMP && !LPAE, the big alignment cause high fragmentation
issue in vmalloc area.
Here we use arch-specific IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER only in !SMP && !LPAE case,
otherwise use generic IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER in include/linux/vmalloc.h.
