It's reported that current memory detection code occasionally detects
larger memory under some bootloaders.
Current memory detection code tests whether address space wraps around
on KSEG0, which is unreliable because it's cached.
Rewrite memory size detection to perform the same test on KSEG1 instead.
While at it, this patch also does the following two things:
1. use a fixed pattern instead of a random function pointer as the magic
value.
2. add an additional memory write and a second comparison as part of the
test to prevent possible smaller memory detection result due to
leftover values in memory.
Fixes: 139c949f7f MIPS: ("ralink: mt7621: add memory detection support")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
