Subject: xtensa: fix high memory/reserved memory collision

From: Max Filippov <[email protected]>

commit 6ac5a11dc674bc5016ea716e8082fff61f524dc1 upstream.

Xtensa memory initialization code frees high memory pages without checking whether they are in the reserved memory regions or not. That results in invalid value of totalram_pages and duplicate page usage by CMA and highmem. It produces a bunch of BUGs at startup looking like this:

BUG: Bad page state in process swapper  pfn:70800
page:be60c000 count:0 mapcount:-127 mapping:  (null) index:0x1

Only free high memory pages that are not reserved.
