In order to check for overlapping reserved memory regions, we first need
to sort the array of memory regions. This is implemented using sort(),
and a custom comparison function __rmem_cmp().
Unfortunatley __rmem_cmp() doesn't work in all cases. Because the two
base values are phys_addr_t, they may be u64 on some platforms, in which
case subtracting one from the other and then (implicitly) casting to int
does not give us the -ve/0/+ve value we need.
This leads to incorrect reports about overlaps, eg:
ibm,slw-image@1ffe600000 (0x0000001ffe600000--0x0000001ffe700000) overlaps with
ibm,firmware-allocs-memory@1000000000 (0x0000001000000000--0x0000001000dc0200)
Fix it by just doing the standard double if and return 0 logic.
