Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) efe659ac01 x86/e820: Drop obsolete E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN and related code 
E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN is a relict from the ancient history that was used
to early reserve setup_data, see:

  28bb223795 ("x86: move reserve_setup_data to setup.c")

Nowadays setup_data is anyway reserved in memblock and there is no point in
carrying E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN that behaves exactly like E820_TYPE_RAM
but only complicates the code.

A bonus for removing E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN is a small but measurable
speedup of 20 microseconds in init_mem_mappings() on a VM with 32GB or RAM.
