Subject: [PATCH V2] mips: kernel: fix detect_memory_region() function

The detect_memory_region() has been broken on 6.6 kernel[1]. This
patch fixes it by:
1. Do not use memcmp() on unallocated memory, as the new introduced
   fortify dynamic object size check[2] will return unexpected result.
2. Use a fixed pattern instead of a random function pointer as the
   magic value.
3. Flip magic value and double check it.
4. Enable this feature only for 32-bit CPUs. Currently, only ath79 and
   ralink CPUs are using it. And 64-bit CPU doesn't have the KSEG1ADDR
   definition.

[2] commit 439a1bcac648 ("fortify: Use __builtin_dynamic_object_size() when available")
