[ARM] prevent the vmalloc cmdline argument from eating all memory
Commit 8d5796d2ec6b5a4e7a52861144e63af438d6f8f7 allows for the vmalloc area to be resized from the kernel cmdline. Make sure it cannot overlap with RAM entirely. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
