powerpc/mm: Move CMA reservations after initmem_init()

After commit 11ac3e87 ("mm: cma: use pageblock_order as the single
alignment") there is an error at boot about the KVM CMA reservation
failing, eg:

  kvm_cma_reserve: reserving 6553 MiB for global area
  cma: Failed to reserve 6553 MiB

That makes it impossible to start KVM guests using the hash MMU with
more than 2G of memory, because the VM is unable to allocate a large
enough region for the hash page table, eg:

  $ qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -M pseries -m 4G ...
  qemu-system-ppc64: Failed to allocate KVM HPT of order 25: Cannot allocate memory

Aneesh pointed out that this happens because when kvm_cma_reserve() is
called, pageblock_order has not been initialised yet, and is still zero,
causing the checks in cma_init_reserved_mem() against
CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_PAGES to fail.

Fix it by moving the call to kvm_cma_reserve() after initmem_init(). The
pageblock_order is initialised in sparse_init() which is called from
initmem_init().

Also move the hugetlb CMA reservation.
