x86/e820, ioport: Add a new I/O resource descriptor IORES_DESC_RESERVED



When executing the kexec_file_load() syscall, the first kernel needs to
pass the e820 reserved ranges to the second kernel because some devices
(PCI, for example) need them present in the kdump kernel for proper
initialization.

But the kernel can not exactly match the e820 reserved ranges when
walking through the iomem resources using the default IORES_DESC_NONE
descriptor, because there are several types of e820 ranges which are
marked IORES_DESC_NONE, see e820_type_to_iores_desc().

Therefore, add a new I/O resource descriptor called IORES_DESC_RESERVED
to mark exactly those ranges. It will be used to match the reserved
resource ranges when walking through iomem resources.
