[PATCH v32 01/13] memblock: add memblock_clear_nomap()

This function, with a combination of memblock_mark_nomap(), will be used
in a later kdump patch for arm64 when it temporarily isolates some range
of memory from the other memory blocks in order to create a specific
kernel mapping at boot time.
