Subject: [PATCH] mm: negative left shift count when PAGE_SHIFT > 20

When PAGE_SHIFT > 20, the result of "20 - PAGE_SHIFT" is negative. The
calculating here will generate an unexpected result. In addition, if
PAGE_SHIFT > 20, The memory size represented by numentries was already
integral multiple of 1MB.
