Revert "mm,memblock: reset memblock.reserved to system init state to prevent UAF"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 9e46e4dcd9.

kbuild reports a warning in memblock_remove_region() because of a false
positive caused by partial reset of the memblock state.

Doing the full reset will remove the false positives, but will allow
late use of memblock_free() to go unnoticed, so it is better to revert
the offending commit.
