Mike Rapoport 5c01a25a21 of: fix kmemleak crash caused by imbalance in early memory reservation
Marc Gonzalez reported the following kmemleak crash:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffc021e00000

The crash happens when a no-map area is allocated in
early_init_dt_alloc_reserved_memory_arch().  The allocated region is
registered with kmemleak, but it is then removed from memblock using
memblock_remove() that is not kmemleak-aware.

Replacing memblock_phys_alloc_range() with memblock_find_in_range()
makes sure that the allocated memory is not added to kmemleak and then
memblock_remove()'ing this memory is safe.

As a bonus, since memblock_find_in_range() ensures the allocation in the
specified range, the bounds check can be removed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
