If we had calculated bitmap size from TASK_SIZE_MAX, all 32-bit apps would have
failed the allocation for bitmap size > TASK_SIZE.  Please see values below,
which is printed from the current code.

x64:
TASK_SIZE_MAX	= 0000 7fff ffff f000
TASK_SIZE	= 0000 7fff ffff f000
bitmap size	= 0000 0000 ffff ffff

x32:
TASK_SIZE_MAX	= 0000 7fff ffff f000
TASK_SIZE	= 0000 0000 ffff e000
bitmap size	= 0000 0000 0001 ffff
