    mm: change __remove_pages() to call release_mem_region_adjustable() · fe74ebb1

    Change __remove_pages() to call release_mem_region_adjustable().  This
    allows a requested memory range to be released from the iomem_resource
    table even if it does not match exactly to an resource entry but still
    fits into.  The resource entries initialized at bootup usually cover the
    whole contiguous memory ranges and may not necessarily match with the
    size of memory hot-delete requests.
    
    If release_mem_region_adjustable() failed, __remove_pages() emits a
    warning message and continues to proceed as it was the case with
    release_mem_region().  release_mem_region(), which is defined to
    __release_region(), emits a warning message and returns no error since a
    void function.
