mm/memblock: allocate boot time data structures from mirrored memory

Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored
memory.

If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using
non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot.

By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
structures.  64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ...  or about 1.5% of total
system memory.  For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory
allocated to the kernel.
