s390/vmem: get rid of memory segment list
I can't come up with a satisfying reason why we still need the memory segment list. We used to represent in the list: - boot memory - standby memory added via add_memory() - loaded dcss segments When loading/unloading dcss segments, we already track them in a separate list and check for overlaps (arch/s390/mm/extmem.c:segment_overlaps_others()) when loading segments. The overlap check was introduced for some segments in commit b2300b9e ("[S390] dcssblk: add >2G DCSSs support and stacked contiguous DCSSs support.") and was extended to cover all dcss segments in commit ca571146 ("s390/extmem: remove code for 31 bit addressing mode"). Although I doubt that overlaps with boot memory and standby memory are relevant, let's reshuffle the checks in load_segment() to request the resource first. This will bail out in case we have overlaps with other resources (esp. boot memory and standby memory). The order is now different compared to segment_unload() and segment_unload(), but that should not matter. This smells like a leftover from ancient times, let's get rid of it. We can now convert vmem_remove_mapping() into a void function - everybody ignored the return value already.
