[PATCH v2] board: samsung: exynos-mobile: prohibit memory overwrite access beyond DDR low region

[Kaustabh Chakraborty]

With commit a3075db94d49 ("lmb: Reinstate access to memory above
ram_top"), the memory region beyond 0x100000000 is now accessible for
allocation. This breaks booting in devices like at least in some
variants of the Samsung Galaxy J6, where only CPU0 is able to appear
online.

Similar to some other boards, limit the memory to the DDR low region.
This also appears to re-implement the logic which was reverted. The
lmb_arch_add_memory() takes over the lmb initialization for the board.

This one's a critical fix, would be nice to have it pulled in by v2026.07.

Changes in v2:
- enable CONFIG_LMB_ARCH_MEM_MAP from target
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260613-j6lte-lmb-v1-1-a32c7ee66c12@disroot.org
