When running as a Xen PV guest use the extra memory (memory which isn't
allocated for the guest at boot time) only for ballooning purposes and
not for zone device allocations. This will remove some code without any
lack of functionality.
While at it move some code to get rid of another #ifdef.
Remove a comment which is stale since some time now.

The main reason of this change is that unpopulated-alloc
code cannot be used in its current form on Arm, but there
is a desire to reuse it to avoid wasting real RAM pages
for the grant/foreign mappings.
The problem is that system "iomem_resource" is used for
the address space allocation, but the really unallocated
space can't be figured out precisely by the domain on Arm
without hypervisor involvement. For example, not all device
I/O regions are known by the time domain starts creating
grant/foreign mappings. And following the advise from
"iomem_resource" we might end up reusing these regions by
a mistake. So, the hypervisor which maintains the P2M for
the domain is in the best position to provide unused regions
of guest physical address space which could be safely used
to create grant/foreign mappings.
Introduce new helper arch_xen_unpopulated_init() which purpose
is to create specific Xen resource based on the memory regions
provided by the hypervisor to be used as unused space for Xen
scratch pages. If arch doesn't define arch_xen_unpopulated_init()
the default "iomem_resource" will be used.
Update the arguments list of allocate_resource() in fill_list()
to always allocate a region from the hotpluggable range
(maximum possible addressable physical memory range for which
the linear mapping could be created). If arch doesn't define
arch_get_mappable_range() the default range (0,-1) will be used.
The behaviour on x86 won't be changed by current patch as both
arch_xen_unpopulated_init() and arch_get_mappable_range()
are not implemented for it.
Also fallback to allocate xenballooned pages (balloon out RAM
pages) if we do not have any suitable resource to work with
(target_resource is invalid) and as the result we won't be able
to provide unpopulated pages on a request.

Commit 9e2369c06c ("xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated
memory") introduced usage of ZONE_DEVICE memory for foreign memory
mappings.
Unfortunately this collides with using page->lru for Xen backend
private page caches.
Fix that by using page->zone_device_data instead.

To be used in order to create foreign mappings. This is based on the
ZONE_DEVICE facility which is used by persistent memory devices in
order to create struct pages and kernel virtual mappings for the IOMEM
areas of such devices. Note that on kernels without support for
ZONE_DEVICE Xen will fallback to use ballooned pages in order to
create foreign mappings.
The newly added helpers use the same parameters as the existing
{alloc/free}_xenballooned_pages functions, which allows for in-place
replacement of the callers. Once a memory region has been added to be
used as scratch mapping space it will no longer be released, and pages
returned are kept in a linked list. This allows to have a buffer of
pages and prevents resorting to frequent additions and removals of
regions.
If enabled (because ZONE_DEVICE is supported) the usage of the new
functionality untangles Xen balloon and RAM hotplug from the usage of
unpopulated physical memory ranges to map foreign pages, which is the
correct thing to do in order to avoid mappings of foreign pages depend
on memory hotplug.
Note the driver is currently not enabled on Arm platforms because it
would interfere with the identity mapping required on some platforms.
