Add call to early_memtest() so that kernel compiled with
CONFIG_MEMTEST really perform memtest at startup when requested
via 'memtest' boot parameter.

On a ppc64le VM this boils down to early_memtest(0, 0) for me.

I think it's too early, we don't set up max_low_pfn until
initmem_init().

If I move it after initmem_init() then it does something more useful:

Ok. On my 8xx max_low_pfn is set in mem_topology_setup().

Moving the test afte initmem_init() still works on the 8xx so I'll do that.

Thanks for testing.
