x86, cma: Reserve DMA contiguous area after initmem_init()

Browse source 
Fengguang Wu reported a boot crash on the x86 platform
via the 0-day Linux Kernel Performance Test:

  cma: dma_contiguous_reserve: reserving 31 MiB for global area

(See details at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/8/708)

It is because dma_contiguous_reserve() is called before
initmem_init() in x86, the variable high_memory is not
initialized but accessed by __pa(high_memory) in
dma_contiguous_reserve().

This patch moves dma_contiguous_reserve() after initmem_init()
so that high_memory is initialized before accessed.
