The commit 108c14858b9e ("locking/lockdep: Add support for dynamic
keys") introduced a boot warning on powerpc below, because since the
commit 2d4f567103ff ("KVM: PPC: Introduce kvm_tmp framework") adds
kvm_tmp[] into the .bss section and then free the rest of unused spaces
back to the page allocator.
kernel_init
kvm_guest_init
kvm_free_tmp
free_reserved_area
free_unref_page
free_unref_page_prepare
Later, alloc_workqueue() happens to allocate some pages from there and
trigger the warning at,
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(static_obj(key)))
Fix it by adding a generic helper arch_is_bss_hole() to skip those areas
in static_obj(). Since kvm_free_tmp() is only done early during the
boot, just go lockless to make the implementation simple for now.

v3: Change arch_is_bss_hole() to return a "bool".
Rearrange variables in kvm.c a bit.
v2: No need to actually define arch_is_bss_hole() powerpc64 only.
