memblock: fix memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() for soft-reserved memory
memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() returns the difference between the total
size of the "memory" memblock type and the "reserved" memblock type.
The "soft-reserved" memory regions are added to the "reserved" memblock
type, but not to the "memory" memblock type. Therefore,
memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() may return a smaller value than
expected, or if it underflows, an extremely large value.
/proc/sys/kernel/threads-max is determined by the value of
memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages(). This issue was discovered on machines
with CXL memory because kernel.threads-max was either smaller than expected
or extremely large for the installed DRAM size.
This fixes the issue by replacing memblock_reserved_size() with
memblock_reserved_kern_size() that tells how much memory was
reserved from the actual RAM.
