[ Upstream commit 2dcb3964544177c51853a210b6ad400de78ef17d ]

With kaslr the kernel image is placed at a random place, so starting the
bottom-up allocation with the kernel_end can result in an allocation
failure and a warning like this one:

hugetlb_cma: reserve 2048 MiB, up to 2048 MiB per node
------------[ cut here ]------------
memblock: bottom-up allocation failed, memory hotremove may be affected

---[ end trace f151227d0b39be70 ]---

At the same time, the kernel image is protected with memblock_reserve(),
so we can just start searching at PAGE_SIZE. In this case the bottom-up
allocation has the same chances to success as a top-down allocation, so
there is no reason to fallback in the case of a failure. All together it
simplifies the logic.
