[PATCH v4 1/8] kernel/resource: make release_mem_region_adjustable() never fail

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

Let's make sure splitting a resource on memory hotunplug will never fail.
This will become more relevant once we merge selected System RAM
resources - then, we'll trigger that case more often on memory hotunplug.

In general, this function is already unlikely to fail. When we remove
memory, we free up quite a lot of metadata (memmap, page tables, memory
block device, etc.). The only reason it could really fail would be when
injecting allocation errors.

All other error cases inside release_mem_region_adjustable() seem to be
sanity checks if the function would be abused in different context -
let's add WARN_ON_ONCE() in these cases so we can catch them.
