[PATCH v4 2/2] memblock: use binary search to locate candidate regions

[Tarun Sahu]

Use binary search (memblock_bsearch_start) in memblock_add_range() and
memblock_isolate_range() to locate candidate regions instead of linearly
scanning from index 0.

Under heavy memory fragmentation (such as KHO page preservation registering
hundreds of thousands of disjoint folios), scanning from index 0 on every
insertion and isolation results in O(N^2) complexity, causing boot-time
memory retrieval to take several minutes (~268s for 393k pages).

Using binary search reduces the candidate search complexity to O(log N)
(from O(N)), cutting KHO memory retrieval time from ~268s to ~50ms.

memblock_search() open codes the same binary search, so reimplement it on
top of the new helper.
