[PATCHv2 1/5] lmb: add LMB_FDT for fdt reserved regions

From: Randolph Sapp <rs at ti.com>
Add an LMB_FDT bit for fdt reserved regions, so we can reclaim them when
parsing a new device tree and properly warn people when a reservation
overlaps with an existing allocation.
If we don't at least warn the user of these reservation failures,
there's a chance that this region could be freed and reallocated for
something important later.
This useful warning mechanism was broken in:
5a6aa7d5913 ("boot: fdt: Handle already reserved memory in boot_fdt_reserve_region()")
