x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded

Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c
and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and
tries to clean from _brk_end to _end.
It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently
does not.
Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory
hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there.

This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so
we can do everything in one step.
Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.
