On some Qualcomm platforms it's required that the rmtfs memory is not
placed adjacent to allocations performed by other clients. Some
DeviceTree authors have solved this by reserving the space around
the region, but this prevents such author to use rely on the OS to place
the region, through the use of "size" (instead of a fixed location).
So introduce a flag to indicate that guard pages should be carved at the
beginning and end of the memory region. The user shall account for the
two 4k blocks in the defined size.

Changes since v1:
- Drop qcom,alloc-size in favour of using reserved-memory/size
- Introduce explicit property to signal that guard pages should be
carved out from this region (rather than always do it in the dynamic
case).
