The core of devm_request_free_mem_region() is a helper that searches for
free space in iomem_resource and performs __request_region_locked() on
the result of that search. The policy choices of the implementation
conform to what CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE users want which is memory that is
immediately marked busy, and a preference to search for the first-fit
free range in descending order from the top of the physical address
space.

CXL has a need for a similar allocator, but with the following tweaks:

1/ Search for free space in ascending order

2/ Search for free space relative to a given CXL window

3/ 'insert' rather than 'request' the new resource given downstream
    drivers from the CXL Region driver (like the pmem or dax drivers) are
    responsible for request_mem_region() when they activate the memory
    range.

Rework __request_free_mem_region() into get_free_mem_region() which
takes a set of GFR_* (Get Free Region) flags to control the allocation
policy (ascending vs descending), and "busy" policy (insert_resource()
vs request_region()).

As part of the consolidation of the legacy GFR_REQUEST_REGION case with
the new default of just inserting a new resource into the free space
some minor cleanups like not checking for NULL before calling
devres_free() (which does its own check) is included.

Coverity is reporting a resource leak here. This may happens if we have dev=NULL and flags=0 which seems it is the case when we call this function using alloc_free_mem. However, I think this may be a false positve since flags=0 means the default behavior aka GFR_ASCENDING | GFR_INSERT_RESOURCE which seems fine. I just want to confirm if it is possible that we have a corner case such as that.
