Subject: [PATCH 3/3] sh: Call paging_init() earlier in the init sequence

The unflatten_device_tree() function contains a call to
memblock_alloc(). This is a problem because this allocation is done
before any of the reserved memory is set aside in paging_init().
This means that there is a possibility for memblock to allocate from
any of the memory regions that are supposed to be set aside as reserved.

Hence, move the call to paging_init() to be earlier in the init
sequence so that the reserved memory regions are set aside before any
allocations are done using memblock.
