resource: Introduce alloc_free_mem_region()
The core of devm_request_free_mem_region() is a helper that searches for free space in iomem_resource and performs __request_region_locked() on the result of that search. The policy choices of the implementation conform to what CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE users want which is memory that is immediately marked busy, and a preference to search for the first-fit free range in descending order from the top of the physical address space. CXL has a need for a similar allocator, but with the following tweaks: 1/ Search for free space in ascending order 2/ Search for free space relative to a given CXL window 3/ 'insert' rather than 'request' the new resource given downstream drivers from the CXL Region driver (like the pmem or dax drivers) are responsible for request_mem_region() when they activate the memory range. Rework __request_free_mem_region() into get_free_mem_region() which takes a set of GFR_* (Get Free Region) flags to control the allocation policy (ascending vs descending), and "busy" policy (insert_resource() vs request_region()). As part of the consolidation of the legacy GFR_REQUEST_REGION case with the new default of just inserting a new resource into the free space some minor cleanups like not checking for NULL before calling devres_free() (which does its own check) is included.
