[PATCH v3] ARM: LPAE: don't reject mapping /dev/mem above 4GB

With LPAE enabled, physical address space is larger than 4GB. Allow mapping any
part of it via /dev/mem by using PHYS_MASK to determine valid range.

PHYS_MASK covers 40 bits with LPAE enabled and 32 bits otherwise.

v2:
- Removed #ifdef and changed original function
