Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() find all busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources

It used to be true that we can have busy system RAM only on the first level
in the resourc tree. However, this is no longer holds for driver-managed
system RAM (i.e., added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on
lower levels.

We have two users of walk_system_ram_res(), which currently only
consideres the first level:
a) kernel/kexec_file.c:kexec_walk_resources() -- We properly skip
   IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED resources via
   locate_mem_hole_callback(), so even after this change, we won't be
   placing kexec images onto dax/kmem and virtio-mem added memory. No
   change.
b) arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:fill_up_crash_elf_data() -- we're currently
   not adding relevant ranges to the crash elf info, resulting in them
   not getting dumped via kdump.

This change fixes loading a crashkernel via kexec_file_load() and including
dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM in the crashdump on x86-64. Note
that e.g,, arm64 relies on memblock data and, therefore, always considers
all added System RAM already.

Let's find all busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources, making the function
behave like walk_system_ram_range().
