x86: fix mttr trimming

Pavel Emelyanov reported that his networking card did not work
and bisected it down to:

"
The commit

  093af8d7f0ba3c6be1485973508584ef081e9f93
  x86_32: trim memory by updating e820

broke my e1000 card: on loading driver says that

  e1000: probe of 0000:04:03.0 failed with error -5

and the interface doesn't appear.
"

on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT,
and highest_addr will always less 4G.

So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than
4g RAM is installed on a 32-bit kernel.

Many thanks to Pavel Emelyanov for reporting and testing it.
