[PATCH v2] ARM: Fix MAX_DMA_ADDRESS overflow

Commit 26f09e9b3a06 ("mm/memblock: add memblock memory allocation apis")
added a check to determine whether arm_dma_zone_size is exceeding the
amount of kernel virtual address space available between the upper 4GB
virtual address limit and PAGE_OFFSET in order to provide a suitable
definition of MAX_DMA_ADDRESS that should fit within the 32-bit virtual
address space. The quantity used for comparison was off by a missing
trailing 0, leading to MAX_DMA_ADDRESS to be overflowing a 32-bit
quantity.
This was caught with the bcm2711 platforms which defines a dma_zone_size
of 1GB, and using a PAGE_OFFSET of 0xc000_0000 (CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G) with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL enabled would lead to MAX_DMA_ADDRESS being
0x1_0000_0000 which overflows the unsigned long type used throughout
__pa() and __virt_addr_valid(). Because the virtual address passed to
__virt_addr_valid() would now be 0, the function would loudly warn, thus
making the platform unable to boot properly.

Changes in v2:
- simplify the patch and drop the first patch that attempted to fix an
off by one in the calculation.
