Provide an arm64-specific implementation for arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole(),
using the resource tree instead of memblock, and respecting
the reservations added by EFI.

This ensures that kexec_file is finally reliable.

It would have been clearer if __walk_iomem_res_desc() was able to do
such child res excluding callback (if asked via a new flag/arg) directly
but it's too late in the day to figure out if it's possible. It would
save us from another callback in the arch code.

Yeah, that should be possible with some minor refactoring of the
generic and x86 code, allowing us to get rid of the double arch
callback circus.

It would also make the locking a bit saner, but also change it for all
the callers... I'll have a play with it.

But if it's not possible or you want to stick to this approach, fine
by me:
