[PATCH] mm: Don't offset memmap for flatmem

[Laura Abbott <lauraa@codeaurora.org>]

Srinivas Kandagatla reported bad page messages when trying to
remove the bottom 2MB on an ARM based IFC6410 board

Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

Removing the lower 2MB made the start of the lowmem zone to no longer
be page block aligned. IFC6410 uses CONFIG_FLATMEM where
alloc_node_mem_map allocates memory for the mem_map. alloc_node_mem_map
will offset for unaligned nodes with the assumption the pfn/page
translation functions will account for the offset. The functions for
CONFIG_FLATMEM do not offset however, resulting in overrunning
the memmap array. Just use the allocated memmap without any offset
when running with CONFIG_FLATMEM to avoid the overrun.
