xen: set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped

Do not set max_pfn_mapped to the end of the initial memory mappings,
that also contain pages that don't belong in pfn space (like the mfn
list).

Set max_pfn_mapped to the last real pfn mapped in the initial memory
mappings that is the pfn backing _end.
