x86/mm/init: respect memblock reserved regions when destroying mappings

In init_memory_mapping we are destroying all the mappings between
_brk_end and _end, no matter if some memory areas in that range have
been reserved using memblock_x86_reserve_range.
Besides if _end is not pmd aligned we might destroy the
mappings for valid memory between _end and the following pmd.

In order to avoid this problem, before clearing any pmds we check if the
corresponding memory area has been reserved and we only destroy the
mapping if it hasn't.

We found this problem because under Xen we have a valid mapping at _end,
and if _end is not pmd aligned the current code destroys the initial
part of it.

In practice this fix does not have any impact on native.
