[OE-core] [PATCH 4/5] scripts/poky-qemu-internal: Pass -m <mem_size> always on commandline

There is a nasty bug in qemu 0.14.0 where it over writes device memory
if the default sizes was not specified on commandline. It can be
worked around by this patch.

I also simplified the memory size calculation logic a bit so we append
'M' to QEMU_MEMORY at the very end instead of sed'ing it afterwards
