David Hildenbrand fa49066fc3 s390/mm: don't set ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK
Commit 50be634507 ("s390/mm: Convert bootmem to memblock") mentions
	"The original bootmem allocator is getting replaced by memblock. To
	cover the needs of the s390 kdump implementation the physical
	memory list is used."

As we can now reference "physmem" managed in the memblock allocator after
init even without ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, and s390x does no longer need
other memblock metadata after boot (esp., the zcore memmap device that used
it got removed), we can stop setting ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

With this change, we no longer create memblocks for standby/hotplugged
memory (added via add_memory()) and free up memblock metadata (except
physmem) after boot.

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.
