[v3 3/4] memblock: introduce MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT_VMEMMAP flag

[Usama Arif <usama.arif@bytedance.com>]

For reserved memory regions marked with this flag,
reserve_bootmem_region is not called during memmap_init_reserved_pages.
This can be used to avoid struct page initialization for
regions which won't need them, for e.g. hugepages with
HVO enabled.
