Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/3] mm/memblock: Add reserved memory release function

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Add reserved_mem_release_by_name() to release a reserved memory region
with a given name. This allows us to release reserved memory which is
defined by kernel cmdline, after boot.
