[v2,4/9] x86: Support allocate memory from bottom upwards in setup_log_buf().

Commit Message

During early boot, if the bottom up mode is set, just
try allocating bottom up from the end of kernel image,
and if that fails, do normal top down allocation.

So in function setup_log_buf(), we add the above logic.
