riscv: Properly export reserved regions in /proc/iomem
The /proc/iomem represents the kernel's memory map. Regions marked
with "Reserved" tells the user that the range should not be tampered
with. Kexec-tools, when using the older kexec_load syscall relies on
the "Reserved" regions to build the memory segments, that will be the
target of the new kexec'd kernel.
The RISC-V port tries to expose all reserved regions to userland, but
some regions were not properly exposed: Regions that resided in both
the "regular" and reserved memory block, e.g. the EFI Memory Map. A
missing entry could result in reserved memory being overwritten.
It turns out, that arm64, and loongarch had a similar issue a while
back:
commit d91680e ("arm64: Fix /proc/iomem for reserved but not memory regions")
commit 50d7ba3 ("arm64: export memblock_reserve()d regions via /proc/iomem")
Similar to the other ports, resolve the issue by splitting the regions
in an arch initcall, since we need a working allocator.
