memory unplug: memory hotplug cleanup

A clean up patch for "scanning memory resource [start, end)" operation.

Now, find_next_system_ram() function is used in memory hotplug, but this
interface is not easy to use and codes are complicated.

This patch adds walk_memory_resouce(start,len,arg,func) function.
The function 'func' is called per valid memory resouce range in [start,pfn).
