mm/CMA: fix boot regression due to physical address of high_memory

Browse Source 
high_memory isn't direct mapped memory so retrieving it's physical address
isn't appropriate.  But, it would be useful to check physical address of
highmem boundary so it's justfiable to get physical address from it.  In
x86, there is a validation check if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and it triggers
following boot failure reported by Ingo.

  BUG: Int 6: CR2 00f06f53
  ...
  Call Trace:
    dump_stack+0x41/0x52

To fix boot regression, this patch implements workaround to avoid
validation check in x86 when retrieving physical address of high_memory.
__pa_nodebug() used by this patch is implemented only in x86 so there is
no choice but to use dirty #ifdef.
