Subject: [PATCH] mm/mm_init: Ignore kernelcore=mirror boot option when no mirror memory presents.

In the machine where no mirror memory is set,
All memory region in ZONE_NORMAL is used as ZONE_MOVABLE
when kernelcore=mirror boot option is used.
So, ZONE_NORMAL couldn't be populated properly
because all of ZONE_NORMAL pages is absent.

To avoid this abnormal situation,
ignore disable kernelcore=mirror option when no mirror memory is found.
