Subject: [PATCH v2 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 system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource 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, for example,
inside device containers.

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 header, 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 IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making
the function behave like walk_system_ram_range().

Fixes: ebf71552bb0e ("virtio-mem: Add parent resource for all added "System RAM"")
Fixes: c221c0b0308f ("device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for use like normal RAM")
