Oscar Salvador 65c7878413 kernel, resource: check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM in release_mem_region_adjustable
This is a preparation for the next patch.

Currently, we only call release_mem_region_adjustable() in __remove_pages
if the zone is not ZONE_DEVICE, because resources that belong to HMM/devm
are being released by themselves with devm_release_mem_region.

Since we do not want to touch any zone/page stuff during the removing of
the memory (but during the offlining), we do not want to check for the
zone here.  So we need another way to tell release_mem_region_adjustable()
to not realease the resource in case it belongs to HMM/devm.

HMM/devm acquires/releases a resource through
devm_request_mem_region/devm_release_mem_region.

These resources have the flag IORESOURCE_MEM, while resources acquired by
hot-add memory path (register_memory_resource()) contain
IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM.

So, we can check for this flag in release_mem_region_adjustable, and if
the resource does not contain such flag, we know that we are dealing with
a HMM/devm resource, so we can back off.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
