Now the Nobootmem allocator will always try to free memory allocated for
reserved memory regions (free_low_memory_core_early()) without taking
into to account current memblock debugging configuration
(CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS state).
As result if:
 - CONFIG_DEBUG_FS defined
 - CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK not defined;
-  reserved memory regions array have been resized during boot

then:
- memory allocated for reserved memory regions array will be freed to
buddy allocator;
- debug_fs entry "sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved" will show garbage
instead of state of memory reservations. like:
   0: 0x98393bc0..0x9a393bbf
   1: 0xff120000..0xff11ffff
   2: 0x00000000..0xffffffff

Hence, do not free memory allocated for reserved memory regions if
defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) && !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK).
