[PATCH 2/4] RISC-V: Set current memblock limit

Currently, linux kernel can not use last 4k bytes of addressable space because
IS_ERR_VALUE macro treats those as an error. This will be an issue for RV32
as any memblock allocator potentially allocate chunk of memory from the end
of DRAM (2GB) leading bad address error even though the address was technically
valid.

Fix this issue by limiting the memblock if available memory spans the entire
address space.
