[PATCH 1/2] arm64: mm: Mark nomap regions with the PG_reserved flag

[James Morse]

linux/page-flags.h has a flag for describing special pages:
> PG_reserved is set for special pages, which can never be swapped out.
> Some of them might not even exist (eg empty_bad_page)...

memblock nomap pages fall in the 'might not even exist' category,
set this bit on all the struct pages in the nomap regions.

This gives pfn walkers the necessary hint that the page might not
be accessible, allowing pfn_valid()s meaning to change slightly.
