Subject: resource: remove dependency on SPARSEMEM from GET_FREE_REGION

We want to use the functions configured via GET_FREE_REGION in resource
kunit tests. However, GET_FREE_REGION depends on SPARSEMEM. This was
done to avoid a small amount of bloat in kernel/resource.c. This means
resource kunit tests cannot be built on some architectures lacking
SPARSEMEM. In fact, these functions doesn't depend on SPARSEMEM now. So,
remove dependency on SPARSEMEM from GET_FREE_REGION.
