When specify 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter, the kernel will
stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that relate to commit 8827247ff.

The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of 'slot_virt[i]'
was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init. But later in
setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will modify 'FIXADDR_TOP'
when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.

The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated value
of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference old value
from slot_virt[slot] directly.

Changelog since v0:

-v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get adjusted, Hence
check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and PMD based on new
FIXADDR_TOP.

-v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in
reserve_top_address to re-initialize slot_virt and corresponding PMD
when parse_reservertop

-v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make sure
other clients of reserve_top_address like xen/lguest won't broken
