Activate the RMM after the basic configuration. This is a memory transferring,
stateful operation.

Why we need to initialize those local variables ('ret' and 'sro')? :-)
Also, we can use the scope-based cleanup function supported by cleanup.h
for @sro.
struct smi_sro_state *sro __free(kfree) = NULL;
With the scope-based cleanup in place, we needn't explict 'kfree(sro)' at
end of this function.

rmi_rmm_acvivate() would be used for once by rmi.c::arm64_init_rmi(). Lets
not expose the function by combining the logic to rmi.c::arm64_init_rmi().
