[PATCH v2 2/3] resource: Add release_mem_region_adjustable()

[Toshi Kani]

Added release_mem_region_adjustable(), which releases a requested
region from a currently busy memory resource.  This interface
adjusts the matched memory resource accordingly even if the
requested region does not match exactly but still fits into.

This new interface is intended for memory hot-delete.  During
bootup, memory resources are inserted from the boot descriptor
table, such as EFI Memory Table and e820.  Each memory resource
entry usually covers the whole contigous memory range.  Memory
hot-delete request, on the other hand, may target to a particular
range of memory resource, and its size can be much smaller than
the whole contiguous memory.  Since the existing release interfaces
like __release_region() require a requested region to be exactly
matched to a resource entry, they do not allow a partial resource
to be released.

There is no change to the existing interfaces since their restriction
is valid for I/O resources.
