[PATCH v3] powerpc: wire up memtest

Add call to early_memtest() so that kernel compiled with
CONFIG_MEMTEST really perform memtest at startup when requested
via 'memtest' boot parameter.

 v3: updated kernel parameters documentation to mention PPC

 v2: moved the test after initmem_init() as PPC64 sets max_low_pfn later than PPC32.
