For analyzing memory blocks we can either use the memblock=debug command

Select CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK to provide a debugfs at
/sys/kernel/debug/memblock to analyze memory blocks. The
same is already done for arm, arm64, mips, powerpc.

The actual provisioning of the file system depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS.

Hi,for riscv, it don't use memblock(eg, no provide pfn_valid to use memblock),

we could call memblock_discard() to discard memblock private memory to save

some memory, right?  So I think we don't need this config for now.
