[U-Boot] efi: fix memory calculation overflow on 32-bit systems

Hi,
There are Cubox-i machines out there with nearly 4 GiB of RAM. The RAM starts at 0x10000000 with a size of 0xf0000000. Thus the end of RAM is at 0x100000000. This overflows a 32-bit integer, which should be fine since in the EFI memory code the variables used are all 64-bit with a fixed size. Unfortunately EFI_PAGE_MASK, which is used in the EFI memory code to remove the lower bits, is based on the EFI_PAGE_SIZE macro which, uses 1UL with a shift. This means the resulting mask is UL, which is only 32-bit on ARMv7. Use ULL to make sure that even on 32-bit platforms we use a 64-bit long mask. Without this there will be no memory available in the EFI memory map and bootefi will fail allocating pages.
Best regards, Patrick

We are using `& ~EFI_PAGE_MASK` in multiplaces for 64bit operations. So it makes sense to use a 64bit value.

Same issue for stm32mp157c-ev1 board (32bits platform with 1GB at 0xC0000000).
Patched tested on v2019.04 and my issue is solved and it is a better approach that my patch http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1083262/
So I will abandon my path and
