[PATCH v27 1/9] memblock: add memblock_cap_memory_range()

Add memblock_cap_memory_range() which will remove all the memblock regions
except the range specified in the arguments.

This function, like memblock_mem_limit_remove_map(), will not remove
memblocks with MEMMAP_NOMAP attribute as they may be mapped and accessed
later as "device memory."
See the commit a571d4eb55d8 ("mm/memblock.c: add new infrastructure to
address the mem limit issue").

This function is used, in a succeeding patch in the series of arm64 kdump
suuport, to limit the range of usable memory, System RAM, on crash dump
kernel.
(Please note that "mem=" parameter is of little use for this purpose.)
