powerpc: Always trim numa memory to lmb_end_of_DRAM()

Browse Source 
numa_enforce_memory_limit tried to be smart and only call lmb_end_of_DRAM
when a memory limit was set via mem= on the command line.  However,
the early boot code will also limit memory added to the lmb system
when iommu=off is specified.  When this happens, the page allocator
is given pages not in the linear mapping and this results in a fatal
data reference to the unmapped page.
