x86: Make sure free_init_pages() frees pages on page boundary

When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or
in a more compact fashion.

Example:

 Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57
 Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56

The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned.
Last page could be shared with other users.

When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page
could be freed and we could corrupt other data.

code segment in free_init_pages():

 |        for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) {
 |                ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
 |                init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr));
 |                memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)),
 |                        POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE);
 |                free_page(addr);
 |                totalram_pages++;
 |        }

last half page could be used as one whole free page.

So page align the boundaries.

-v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to
     Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page.
     we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could
     confuse decompressor.
-v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes.
-v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes.
     We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN
     Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned
     in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it
     to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes.
-v6: remove one WARN()
     We need to align beginning in free_init_pages()
     do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes
