cxl/acpi: Track CXL resources in iomem_resource

Recall that CXL capable address ranges, on ACPI platforms, are published
in the CEDT.CFMWS (CXL Early Discovery Table: CXL Fixed Memory Window
Structures). These windows represent both the actively mapped capacity
and the potential address space that can be dynamically assigned to a
new CXL decode configuration (region / interleave-set).

CXL endpoints like DDR DIMMs can be mapped at any physical address
including 0 and legacy ranges.

There is an expectation and requirement that the /proc/iomem interface
and the iomem_resource tree in the kernel reflect the full set of
platform address ranges. I.e. that every address range that platform
firmware and bus drivers enumerate be reflected as an iomem_resource
entry. The hard requirement to do this for CXL arises from the fact that
facilities like CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE expect to be able to treat empty
iomem_resource ranges as free for software to use as proxy address
space. Without CXL publishing its potential address ranges in
iomem_resource, the CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE mechanism may inadvertently
steal capacity reserved for runtime provisioning of new CXL regions.

So, iomem_resource needs to know about both active and potential CXL
resource ranges. The active CXL resources might already be reflected in
iomem_resource as "System RAM". insert_resource_expand_to_fit() handles
re-parenting "System RAM" underneath a CXL window.

The "_expand_to_fit()" behavior handles cases where a CXL window is not
a strict superset of an existing entry in the iomem_resource tree. The
"_expand_to_fit()" behavior is acceptable from the perspective of
resource allocation. The expansion happens because a conflicting
resource range is already populated, which means the resource boundary
expansion does not result in any additional free CXL address space being
made available. CXL address space allocation is always bounded by the
orginal unexpanded address range.

However, the potential for expansion does mean that something like
walk_iomem_res_desc(IORES_DESC_CXL...) can only return fuzzy answers on
corner case platforms that cause the resource tree to expand a CXL
window resource over a range that is not decoded by CXL. This would be
an odd platform configuration, but if it becomes a problem in practice
the CXL subsytem could just publish an API that returns definitive
answers.
