[PATCH v2 1/6] x86: remove unneeded memblock_find_dma_reserve()

[Baoquan He]

Variable dma_reserve and its usage was introduced in commit 0e0b864e069c
("[PATCH] Account for memmap and optionally the kernel image as holes").
Its original purpose was to accounting for the reserved pages in DMA
zone to make DMA zone's watermarks calculation more accurate on x86.

However, currently there's zone->managed_pages to account for all
available pages for buddy, zone->present_pages to account for all
present physical pages in zone. What is more important, on x86,
calculating and setting the zone->managed_pages is a temporary move,
all zone's managed_pages will be zeroed out and reset to the actual
value according to how many pages are added to buddy allocator in
mem_init(). Before mem_init(), no buddy alloction is requested. And
zone's pcp and watermark setting are all done after mem_init(). So,
no need to worry about the DMA zone's setting accuracy during
free_area_init().

Hence, remove memblock_find_dma_reserve() to stop calculating and
setting dma_reserve.
