mm/memory-hotplug: Allow memory resources to be children

The mm/resource.c code is used to manage the physical address
space.  The current resource configuration can be viewed in
/proc/iomem.  An example of this is at the bottom of this
description.

The nvdimm subsystem "owns" the physical address resources which
map to persistent memory and has resources inserted for them as
"Persistent Memory".  The best way to repurpose this for volatile
use is to leave the existing resource in place, but add a "System
RAM" resource underneath it. This clearly communicates the
ownership relationship of this memory.

The request_resource_conflict() API only deals with the
top-level resources.  Replace it with __request_region() which
will search for !IORESOURCE_BUSY areas lower in the resource
tree than the top level.

We *could* also simply truncate the existing top-level
"Persistent Memory" resource and take over the released address
space.  But, this means that if we ever decide to hot-unplug the
"RAM" and give it back, we need to recreate the original setup,
which may mean going back to the BIOS tables.

This should have no real effect on the existing collision
detection because the areas that truly conflict should be marked
IORESOURCE_BUSY.
