x86/mm/numa: Fix 32-bit memblock range truncation bug on 32-bit NUMA kernels

The following commit:

  a0acda917284 ("acpi, numa, mem_hotplug: mark all nodes the kernel resides un-hotpluggable")

Introduced numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug(), which function is executed
during early bootup, and which marks all currently reserved memblock
regions as hot-memory-unswappable as well.

y14sg1 <y14sg1@comcast.net> reported that when running 32-bit NUMA kernels,
the grsecurity/PAX kernel patch flagged a size overflow in this function:

  PAX: size overflow detected in function x86_numa_init arch/x86/mm/numa.c:691 [...]

... the reason for the overflow is that memblock_clear_hotplug() takes physical
addresses as arguments, while the start/end variables used by
numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() are 'unsigned long', which is 32-bit on PAE
kernels, but which has 64-bit physical addresses.

So on 32-bit PAE kernels that have physical memory above the 4GB boundary,
we truncate a 64-bit physical address range to 32 bits and pass it to
memblock_clear_hotplug(), which at minimum prevents the original memory-hotplug
bugfix from working, but might have other side effects as well.

The fix is to use the proper type to handle physical addresses, phys_addr_t.
