Subject: [PATCH v2] of/fdt: Don't worry about non-memory region overlap for no-map

In commit 8a5a75e5e9e5 ("of/fdt: Make sure no-map does not remove
already reserved regions") we returned -EBUSY when trying to mark
regions as no-map when they're in the reserved memory node. This if
condition will still trigger though if the DT has a /memreserve/ that
completely subsumes the no-map memory carveouts in the reserved memory
node. Let's only consider this to be a problem if we're trying to mark a
region as no-map and it is actually memory. If it isn't memory,
presumably it was removed from the memory map via /memreserve/ and thus
can't be mapped anyway.

This silences a warning seen at boot on sc7180-trogdor.dtsi boards that
have /memreserve/ populated by the bootloader where those reserved
regions overlap with the reserved-memory carveouts that we have in DT
for other purposes like communicating with remote processors.

For example

 OF: fdt: Reserved memory: failed to reserve memory for node 'memory@...00000': base 0x0000000080900000, size 2 MiB
