xen/arm: fix mask calculation in pdx_init_mask

The mask calculation in pdx_init_mask is wrong when the first bank
starts at address 0x0. The reason is that pdx_init_mask will do '0 - 1'
causing an underflow. As a result, the mask becomes 0xffffffffffffffff
which is the biggest possible mask and ends up causing a significant
memory waste in the frametable size computation.

For instance, on platforms that have a low memory bank starting at 0x0
and a high memory bank, the frametable will end up covering all the
holes in between.

The purpose of the mask is to be passed as a parameter to
pfn_pdx_hole_setup, which based on the mask parameter calculates
pfn_pdx_hole_shift, pfn_pdx_bottom_mask, etc. which are actually the
important masks for frametable initialization later on.

pfn_pdx_hole_setup never compresses addresses below MAX_ORDER bits (1GB
on ARM). Thus, it is safe to initialize mask passing 1ULL << (MAX_ORDER
+ PAGE_SHIFT) as start address to pdx_init_mask.
