[PATCH] arm64: mm: fix zone_dma_limit calculation

The commit ba0fb44aed47 ("dma-mapping: replace zone_dma_bits by
zone_dma_limit") changed how zone_dma_limit was calculated.  Now it
returns the memsize limit in IORT or device tree instead of U32_MAX if
the memsize limit is greater than U32_MAX.

This resulted in DMA allocations may use GFP_DMA even though the devices
don't require it.  It caused regression on our two sockets systems due
to excessive remote memory access.
