s390/kaslr: reserve memory for kasan usage



Sometimes the kernel fails to boot with:
"The Linux kernel failed to boot with the KernelAddressSanitizer:
out of memory during initialisation" even with big amounts of memory when
both kaslr and kasan are enabled.

The problem is that kasan initialization code requires 1/8 of physical
memory plus some for page tables. To keep as much code instrumented
as possible kasan avoids using memblock for memory allocations. Instead
kasan uses trivial memory allocator which simply chops off the memory
from the end of online physical memory. For that reason when kaslr is
enabled together with kasan avoid positioning kernel into upper memory
region which would be utilized during kasan initialization.
