memblock: Reimplement memblock_add_region()
memblock_add_region() carefully checked for merge and overlap conditions while adding a new region, which is complicated and makes it difficult to allow arbitrary overlaps or add more merge conditions (e.g. node ID). This re-implements memblock_add_region() such that insertion is done in two steps - all non-overlapping portions of new area are inserted as separate regions first and then memblock_merge_regions() scan and merge all neighbouring compatible regions. This makes addition logic simpler and more versatile and enables adding node information to memblock.
