riscv/kexec: load initrd high in available memory

Browse Source 
When initrd is loaded low, the secondary kernel fails like this:

 INITRD: 0xdc581000+0x00eef000 overlaps in-use memory region

This initrd load address corresponds to the _end symbol, but the
reservation is aligned on PMD_SIZE, as explained by a comment in
setup_bootmem().

It is technically possible to align the initrd load address accordingly,
leaving a hole between the end of kernel and the initrd, but it is much
simpler to allocate the initrd top-down.
