x86_64: allocate sparsemem memmap above 4G
On systems with huge amount of physical memory, VFS cache and memory memmap may eat all available system memory under 4G, then the system may fail to allocate swiotlb bounce buffer. There was a fix for this issue in arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c, but that fix dose not cover sparsemem model. This patch add fix to sparsemem model by first try to allocate memmap above 4G.
