[ARM] 4839/1: fixes kernel Oops in /dev/mem device driver for memory map with PHYS_OFF

Browse source 
"cat /dev/mem" may cause kernel Oops for boards with PHYS_OFFSET != 0
because character device is mapped to addresses starting from zero
and there is no protection against such situation.
Patch just add this.
