mm/memory_hotplug: fix memmap_on_memory sysfs value retrieval

set_memmap_mode() stores the kernel parameter memmap mode as an integer.
However, the get_memmap_mode() function utilizes param_get_bool() to fetch
the value as a boolean, leading to potential endianness issue.  On
Big-endian architectures, the memmap_on_memory is consistently displayed
as 'N' regardless of its actual status.

To address this endianness problem, the solution involves obtaining the
mode as an integer.  This adjustment ensures the proper display of the
memmap_on_memory parameter, presenting it as one of the following options:
Force, Y, or N.
