mm,memblock: reset memblock.reserved to system init state to prevent UAF
The memblock_discard function frees the memblock.reserved.regions array, which is good. However, if a subsequent memblock_free (or memblock_phys_free) comes in later, from for example ima_free_kexec_buffer, that will result in a use after free bug in memblock_isolate_range. When running a kernel with CONFIG_KASAN enabled, this will cause a kernel panic very early in boot. Without CONFIG_KASAN, there is a chance that memblock_isolate_range might scribble on memory that is now in use by somebody else. Avoid those issues by making sure that memblock_discard points memblock.reserved.regions back at the static buffer. If memblock_free is called after memblock memory is discarded, that will print a warning in memblock_remove_region.
