x86/mm: Only add extra pages count for the first memory range during pre-allocation early page table space

Robin found this regression:

| I just tried to boot an 8TB system.  It fails very early in boot with:
| Kernel panic - not syncing: Cannot find space for the kernel page tables

git bisect commit fbbb8fdf54bc6fd2f7e3300562fe861baef18e19.

A git revert of that commit does boot past that point on the 8TB
configuration.

That commit will add up extra pages for all memory range even
above 4g.

Try to limit that extra page count adding to first entry only.
