Subject: [PATCH 02/12] mips: Discard rudiments from bootmem_init

There is a pointless code left in the bootmem_init() method since
the bootmem allocator removal. First part resides the PFN ranges
calculation loop. The conditional expressions and continue operator
are useless there, since nothing is done after them. Second part is
in RAM ranges installation loop. We can simplify the conditions cascade
a bit without much of the logic redefinition, so to reduce the code
length. In particular the end boundary value can be verified after
the possible reduction to be below max_low_pfn.
