Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fix overflow of vmalloc_limit in sanity_check_meminfo

vmalloc_limit easily overflows if CONFIG_VMSPLIT_1G=y and CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=n,
in this case whole memory turns into "highmem" and system cannot boot.
For example if PHYS_OFFSET=0x80000000 and PAGE_OFFSET=0x40000000 then
vmalloc_limit should be 0x1_2F800000, but value does not fit into variable.
