Subject: [PATCH] Fix alloc_node_mem_map() to work on ia64 again

In commit a1c34a3bf00af2cede839879502e12dc68491ad5
   "mm: Don't offset memmap for flatmem"

Laura fixed a problem for Srinivas relating to the bottom 2MB of RAM
on an ARM IFC6410 board.

One small wrinkle on ia64 is that it allocates the node_mem_map
earlier in arch code, so it skips the block of code where "offset"
is initialized.

Move initialization of start and offset before the check for the
node_mem_map so that they will always be available in the latter
part of the function.

Tested-by: Laura Abbott <laura@...bott.name>
Fixes: a1c34a3bf00a (mm: Don't offset memmap for flatmem)
