[PATCH] uml: fix LVM crash

Permit lvm to create logical volumes without crashing UML.

When device-mapper's DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD ioctl is called to create a new device,
dev_create()->dm_create()->alloc_dev()-> blk_queue_bounce_limit(md->queue,
BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) is called.

blk_queue_bounce_limit(BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) calls init_emergency_isa_pool() if
blk_max_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.  This is the case on UML, but
init_emergency_isa_pool() hits BUG_ON(!isa_page_pool) because there doesn't
seem to be a dma zone on UML for mempool_create() to allocate from.

Most architectures seem to have max_low_pfn == max_pfn, but UML doesn't
because of the uml_reserved chunk it keeps for itself.  From what I can see,
max_pfn and max_low_pfn don't get much use after the bootmem-allocator stops
being used anyway, except that they initialize the block layer's
blk_max_low_pfn/blk_max_pfn.

This ensures init_emergency_isa_pool() doesn't crash uml in this situation by
setting max_low_pfn == max_pfn in mem_init().
