[PATCH v3 3/3] dma-direct: use RAM start to offset zone_dma_limit

Current code using zone_dma_limit assume that all address range below
limit is suitable for DMA. For some existing platforms this assumption
is not correct. DMA range might have non zero lower limit.

Commit 791ab8b2e3db ("arm64: Ignore any DMA offsets in the
max_zone_phys() calculation") made DMA/DMA32 zones span the entire RAM
when RAM starts above 32-bits. This breaks hardware with DMA area that
start above 32-bits. But the commit log says that "we haven't noticed
any such hardware". It turns out that such hardware does exist.

One such platform has RAM starting at 32GB with an internal bus that has
the following DMA limits:

  #address-cells = <2>;
  #size-cells = <2>;
  dma-ranges = <0x00 0xc0000000 0x08 0x00000000 0x00 0x40000000>;

Devices under this bus can see 1GB of DMA range between 3GB-4GB in each
device address space. This range is mapped to CPU memory at 32GB-33GB.
With current code DMA allocations for devices under this bus are not
limited to DMA area, leading to run-time allocation failure.

Add start of RAM address to zone_dma_limit to make DMA allocation for
constrained devices possible.

The result is DMA zone that properly reflects the hardware constraints
as follows:

[    0.000000] Zone ranges:
[    0.000000]   DMA      [mem 0x0000000800000000-0x000000083fffffff]
[    0.000000]   DMA32    empty
[    0.000000]   Normal   [mem 0x0000000840000000-0x0000000bffffffff]

Rename the dma_direct_supported() local 'min_mask' variable to better
describe its use as limit.
