kernel/resource: disallow access to exclusive system RAM regions

virtio-mem dynamically exposes memory inside a device memory region as
system RAM to Linux, coordinating with the hypervisor which parts are
actually "plugged" and consequently usable/accessible.

On the one hand, the virtio-mem driver adds/removes whole memory blocks,
creating/removing busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources, on the other
hand, it logically (un)plugs memory inside added memory blocks,
dynamically either exposing them to the buddy or hiding them from the
buddy and marking them PG_offline.

In contrast to physical devices, like a DIMM, the virtio-mem driver is
required to actually make use of any of the device-provided memory,
because it performs the handshake with the hypervisor.  virtio-mem
memory cannot simply be access via /dev/mem without a driver.

There is no safe way to:
a) Access plugged memory blocks via /dev/mem, as they might contain
   unplugged holes or might get silently unplugged by the virtio-mem
   driver and consequently turned inaccessible.
b) Access unplugged memory blocks via /dev/mem because the virtio-mem
   driver is required to make them actually accessible first.

The virtio-spec states that unplugged memory blocks MUST NOT be written,
and only selected unplugged memory blocks MAY be read.  We want to make
sure, this is the case in sane environments -- where the virtio-mem driver
was loaded.

We want to make sure that in a sane environment, nobody "accidentially"
accesses unplugged memory inside the device managed region.  For example,
a user might spot a memory region in /proc/iomem and try accessing it via
/dev/mem via gdb or dumping it via something else.  By the time the mmap()
happens, the memory might already have been removed by the virtio-mem
driver silently: the mmap() would succeeed and user space might
accidentially access unplugged memory.

So once the driver was loaded and detected the device along the
device-managed region, we just want to disallow any access via /dev/mem to
it.

In an ideal world, we would mark the whole region as busy ("owned by a
driver") and exclude it; however, that would be wrong, as we don't really
have actual system RAM at these ranges added to Linux ("busy system RAM").
Instead, we want to mark such ranges as "not actual busy system RAM but
still soft-reserved and prepared by a driver for future use."

Let's teach iomem_is_exclusive() to reject access to any range with
"IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE", even if not busy and even
if "iomem=relaxed" is set.  Introduce EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM to make it
easier for applicable drivers to depend on this setting in their Kconfig.

For now, there are no applicable ranges and we'll modify virtio-mem next
to properly set IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE on the parent resource container it
creates to contain all actual busy system RAM added via
add_memory_driver_managed().
