[RFC 1/7] powerpc/mm: Make vmemmap_populate accommodate ZONE_DEVICE memory

Change the vmemmap_populate function to detect device memory through
to_vmemmap_altmap and then call generic the __vmmemap_alloc_block_buf
function instead of vmemmap_alloc_block as the earlier can allocate
physical memory from the device range instead of the system RAM.
