Subject: [PATCH v2 tip/x86/mm] x86_32: calculate additional memory needed by the fixmap

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com>

When NR_CPUS increases the fixmap might need more than the page
allocated by head_32.S.
This patch introduces the logic to calculate the additional memory that
is going to be required by early_ioremap_page_table_range_init:

- enough memory to allocate the pte pages needed to cover the fixmap
virtual memory range, minus the single page allocated by head_32.S;

- account for the page already allocated by early_ioremap_init;

- account for the two additional pages that might be needed to make sure
that the kmap's ptes are contiguous.

Changes to v1:

- refactor the fixmap space calculation in a new function to make it
easier to read and avoid compilation warnings on x86_64.
