efi/arm-init: Reserve rather than unmap the memory map for ARM as well

Now that ARM has a fully functional memremap() implementation, there is
no longer a need to remove the UEFI memory map from the linear mapping
in order to be able to create a permanent mapping for it using generic
code.

So remove the 'IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM)' conditional we added in:

7cc8cbcf82d1 ("efi/arm64: Don't apply MEMBLOCK_NOMAP to UEFI memory map mapping")

... and revert to using memblock_reserve() for both ARM and arm64.
