[PATCH 3/4] arm64: Default to 32-bit ZONE_DMA

The Raspberry Pi 4 needs two DMA zones as some of its devices can only
DMA into the 30-bit physical address space. We solved that by creating
an extra ZONE_DMA covering the 30-bit. It turns out that creating extra
zones unnecessarily broke Kdump on large systems. So default to a single
32-bit wide ZONE_DMA and only define both zones if running on RPi4.
