[PATCH v4 4/4] device-dax: Add memory via add_memory_driver_managed()

Currently, when adding memory, we create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ as "System RAM". This will lead to kexec-tools to add that memory to the fixed-up initial memmap for a kexec kernel (loaded via kexec_load()). The memory will be considered initial System RAM by the kexec'd kernel and can no longer be reconfigured. This is not what happens during a real reboot. Let's add our memory via add_memory_driver_managed() now, so we won't create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ and indicate the memory as "System RAM (kmem)" in /proc/iomem. This allows everybody (especially kexec-tools) to identify that this memory is special and has to be treated differently than ordinary (hotplugged) System RAM.

Changing the resource name won't have an impact. Handle unloading of the driver after memory hotremove failed properly, by duplicating the string if necessary.
