ARM: 7113/1: mm: Align bank start to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES

Browse Source 
The VM subsystem assumes that there are valid memmap entries from
the bank start aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

On the Ux500 we have a lot of mem=N arguments on the commandline
triggering this bug several times over and causing kernel
oops messages.
