[PATCH v2 1/3] vmalloc: Choose a better start address in vm_area_register_early()

There are some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved
in ARM(see iotable_init()) and ARM64(see map_kernel()), but for
pcpu_page_first_chunk(), it calls vm_area_register_early() and
choose VMALLOC_START as the start address of vmap area which
could be conflicted with above address, then could trigger a
BUG_ON in vm_area_add_early().

Let's choose the end of existing address range in vmlist as the
start address instead of VMALLOC_START to avoid the BUG_ON.
