[PATCH v2] x86: Fix adjust_range_size_mask calling position

[Yinghai Lu]

Commit 8d57470d cause a kernel panic while setting mem=2G.
     [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] page 4k
     [mem 0x7fe00000-0x7fffffff] page 1G
     [mem 0x7c000000-0x7fdfffff] page 1G
     [mem 0x00100000-0x001fffff] page 4k
     [mem 0x00200000-0x7bffffff] page 2M

for last entry is not what we want, we should have
     [mem 0x00200000-0x3fffffff] page 2M
     [mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] page 1G

Actually we merge the continuous ranges with same page size too early.
in this case, before merging we have
     [mem 0x00200000-0x3fffffff] page 2M
     [mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] page 2M
after merging them, will get
     [mem 0x00200000-0x7bffffff] page 2M
even we can use 1G page to map
     [mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff]

that will cause problem, because we already map
     [mem 0x7fe00000-0x7fffffff] page 1G
     [mem 0x7c000000-0x7fdfffff] page 1G
with 1G page.

Fix that by calling adjust_range_size_mask before merging range
with same page size.

We need this one for v3.9 stable.

-v2: update change log.
