resource: add release_mem_region_adjustable()

Add release_mem_region_adjustable(), which releases a requested region
from a currently busy memory resource.  This interface adjusts the
matched memory resource accordingly even if the requested region does
not match exactly but still fits into.

This new interface is intended for memory hot-delete.  During bootup,
memory resources are inserted from the boot descriptor table, such as
EFI Memory Table and e820.  Each memory resource entry usually covers
the whole contigous memory range.  Memory hot-delete request, on the
other hand, may target to a particular range of memory resource, and its
size can be much smaller than the whole contiguous memory.  Since the
existing release interfaces like __release_region() require a requested
region to be exactly matched to a resource entry, they do not allow a
partial resource to be released.

This new interface is restrictive (i.e.  release under certain
conditions), which is consistent with other release interfaces,
__release_region() and __release_resource().  Additional release
conditions, such as an overlapping region to a resource entry, can be
supported after they are confirmed as valid cases.

There is no change to the existing interfaces since their restriction is
valid for I/O resources.

+ * @parent: parent resource descriptor
+ * @start: resource start address
+ * @size: resource region size
+ *
+ * This interface is intended for memory hot-delete.  The requested region
+ * is released from a currently busy memory resource.  The requested region
+ * must either match exactly or fit into a single busy resource entry.  In
+ * the latter case, the remaining resource is adjusted accordingly.
+ * Existing children of the busy memory resource must be immutable in the
+ * request.
+ *
+ * Note:
+ * - Additional release conditions, such as overlapping region, can be
+ *   supported after they are confirmed as valid cases.
+ * - When a busy memory resource gets split into two entries, the code
+ *   assumes that all children remain in the lower address entry for
+ *   simplicity.  Enhance this logic when necessary.
