kexec: enable KHO support for memory preservation
Introduce APIs allowing KHO users to preserve memory across kexec and get access to that memory after boot of the kexeced kernel kho_preserve_folio() - record a folio to be preserved over kexec kho_restore_folio() - recreates the folio from the preserved memory kho_preserve_phys() - record physically contiguous range to be preserved over kexec. The memory preservations are tracked by two levels of xarrays to manage chunks of per-order 512 byte bitmaps. For instance if PAGE_SIZE = 4096, the entire 1G order of a 1TB x86 system would fit inside a single 512 byte bitmap. For order 0 allocations each bitmap will cover 16M of address space. Thus, for 16G of memory at most 512K of bitmap memory will be needed for order 0. At serialization time all bitmaps are recorded in a linked list of pages for the next kernel to process and the physical address of the list is recorded in KHO FDT. The next kernel then processes that list, reserves the memory ranges and later, when a user requests a folio or a physical range, KHO restores corresponding memory map entries.
