With kaslr the kernel image is placed at a random place, so starting the bottom-up allocation with the kernel_end can result in an allocation failure and a warning like this one:

At the same time, the kernel image is protected with memblock_reserve(), so we can just start searching at PAGE_SIZE. In this case the bottom-up allocation has the same chances to success as a top-down allocation, so there is no reason to fallback in the case of a failure. All together it simplifies the logic.
