There is no need to have two separate API's for freeing up memory. Use
a single API lmb_free() to achieve this.

There currently are two API's for requesting memory from the LMB
module, lmb_alloc() and lmb_alloc_base(). The function which does the
actual allocation is the same. Use the earlier introduced API
lmb_alloc_mem() for both types of allocation requests.

There currently are multiple allocation API's in the LMB module. There
are a couple of API's for allocating memory(lmb_alloc() and
lmb_alloc_base()), and then there are two for requesting a reservation
for a particular memory region (lmb_reserve() and
lmb_alloc_addr()). Introduce a single API lmb_alloc_mem() which will
cater to all types of allocation requests and replace lmb_reserve()
and lmb_alloc_addr() with the new API.

Moreover, the lmb_reserve() API is pretty similar to the
lmb_alloc_addr() API, with the one difference being that the
lmb_reserve() API allows for reserving any address passed to it --
the address need not be part of the LMB memory map. The
lmb_alloc_addr() does check that the address being requested is
actually part of the LMB memory map.

There is no need to support reserving memory regions which are outside
the LMB memory map. Remove the lmb_reserve() API functionality and use
the functionality provided by lmb_alloc_addr() instead. The
lmb_alloc_addr() will check if the requested address is part of the
LMB memory map and return an error if not.

<title>test: lmb: fix the lmb_alloc_addr() based test cases</title>

Commit 56f186a68b3 ("lmb: check if a region can be reserved by
lmb_reserve()") fixed the lmb_reserve() and lmb_alloc_addr() API's for
some corner case scenarios, and also added corresonding test cases for
these corner cases. These tests were checking, among other things, the
lmb_alloc_addr() API. The above commit was applied to the next branch.

Subsequently, there was commit 67be24906fe
("lmb: change the return code on lmb_alloc_addr()") which was first
applied on the master branch, and subsequently got merged to next as
part of the rebase. The second commit changes the return value of the
lmb_alloc_addr() API, which now results in some of the tests added as
part of the first commit to fail. Fix those test cases.

Ben reports a failure to boot the kernel on hardware that starts its
physical memory from 0x0.
The reason is that lmb_alloc_addr(), which is supposed to reserve a
specific address, takes the address as the first argument, but then also
returns the address for success or failure and treats 0 as a failure.

Since we already know the address change the prototype to return an int.

The logic used in lmb_alloc() takes into consideration the existing
reserved regions, and ensures that the allocated region does not
overlap with any existing allocated regions. The lmb_reserve()
function is not doing any such checks -- the requested region might
overlap with an existing region. This also shows up with
lmb_alloc_addr() as this function ends up calling lmb_reserve().

Add a function which checks if the region requested is overlapping
with an existing reserved region, and allow for the reservation to
happen only if both the regions have LMB_NONE flag, which allows
re-requesting of the region. In any other scenario of an overlap, have
lmb_reserve() return -EEXIST, implying that the requested region is
already reserved.

Add corresponding test cases which check for overlapping reservation
requests made through lmb_reserve() and lmb_alloc_addr(). And while
here, fix some of the comments in the test function being touched.

lmb_alloc_base() is just calling lmb_alloc_base_flags() with LMB_NONE.
There's not much we gain from this abstraction, so let's remove the
former add the flags argument to lmb_alloc_base() and make the code
a bit easier to follow.

free_mem is a misnomer. We never update it with the free memory for
LMB. Instead, it describes all available memory and is checked against
used_mem to decide whether an area is free or not.

So let's rename this field to better match its usage.
