Hi Mike,

A minor editing issue in here that is stopping boot on arm64 platforms with latest
version of the mm tree.

This isn't the right #endif. It is matching with the #ifndef MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR
not the intented #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK.

Now I haven't chased through the exact reason this is causing my acpi
arm64 system not to boot on the basis it is obviously miss-matched anyway
and I'm inherently lazy.  It's resulting in stubs replacing the following weak
functions.

early_init_dt_add_memory_arch
(this is defined elsewhere for some architectures but not arm)

early_init_dt_mark_hotplug_memory_arch
(there is only one definition of this in the kernel so it doesn't
 need to be weak or in the header etc).

early_init_dt_reserve_memory_arch
(defined on mips but nothing else)

Taking out the right endif also lets you drop an #else removing some stub
functions further down in here.

Nice cleanup in general btw.

Thanks,

Jonathan
