When memory block is removed via try_remove_memory(), it eventually
reaches release_mem_region_adjustable().  The current implementation
assumes that when a busy memory resource is split into two, all child
resources remain in the lower address range.

This simplification causes problems when child resources actually belong
to the upper split.  For example:

* Initial memory layout:
lsmem
RANGE                                 SIZE   STATE REMOVABLE  BLOCK
0x0000000000000000-0x00000002ffffffff  12G  online       yes   0-95

* /proc/iomem
00000000-2dfefffff : System RAM
  158834000-1597b3fff : Kernel code
  1597b4000-159f50fff : Kernel data
  15a13c000-15a218fff : Kernel bss
2dff00000-2ffefffff : Crash kernel
2fff00000-2ffffffff : System RAM

* After offlining and removing range
  0x150000000-0x157ffffff
lsmem -o RANGE,SIZE,STATE,BLOCK,CONFIGURED
(output according to upcoming lsmem changes with the configured column:
s390)
RANGE                                  SIZE   STATE  BLOCK  CONFIGURED
0x0000000000000000-0x000000014fffffff  5.3G  online   0-41  yes
0x0000000150000000-0x0000000157ffffff  128M offline     42  no
0x0000000158000000-0x00000002ffffffff  6.6G  online  43-95  yes

The iomem resource gets split into two entries, but kernel code, kernel
data, and kernel bss remain attached to the lower resource [0–5376M]
instead of the correct upper resource [5504M–12288M].

As a result, WARN_ON() triggers in release_mem_region_adjustable()
("Usecase: split into two entries - we need a new resource")

Also, resource adjustment doesn't happen and stale resources still cover
[0-12288M].  Later, memory re-add fails in register_memory_resource() with
-EBUSY.

i.e: /proc/iomem is still:
00000000-2dfefffff : System RAM
  158834000-1597b3fff : Kernel code
  1597b4000-159f50fff : Kernel data
  15a13c000-15a218fff : Kernel bss
2dff00000-2ffefffff : Crash kernel
2fff00000-2ffffffff : System RAM

Enhance release_mem_region_adjustable() to reassign child resources to the
correct parent after a split.  Children are now assigned based on their
actual range: If they fall within the lower split, keep them in the lower
parent.  If they fall within the upper split, move them to the upper
parent.

Kernel code/data/bss regions are not offlined, so they will always reside
entirely within one parent and never span across both.

Output after the enhancement:
* Initial state /proc/iomem (before removal of memory block):
00000000-2dfefffff : System RAM
  1f94f8000-1fa477fff : Kernel code
  1fa478000-1fac14fff : Kernel data
  1fae00000-1faedcfff : Kernel bss
2dff00000-2ffefffff : Crash kernel
2fff00000-2ffffffff : System RAM

* Offline and remove 0x1e8000000-0x1efffffff memory range
* /proc/iomem
00000000-1e7ffffff : System RAM
1f0000000-2dfefffff : System RAM
  1f94f8000-1fa477fff : Kernel code
  1fa478000-1fac14fff : Kernel data
  1fae00000-1faedcfff : Kernel bss
2dff00000-2ffefffff : Crash kernel
2fff00000-2ffffffff : System RAM
