ARM: cpu: start: don't panic when only initial memory known

Boards that get their memory from device tree are prone to breakage if
upstream decides to remove the /memory node or renders it unusable[0]
or to disable the DRAM controller device node[1] used to dynamically
compute the size.  While this needs to be fixed properly on a
case-by-case basis, soften the blow by using the memory size specified
by low level code as a fallback instead of just throwing the towel.
