drivers/base/memory.c: cache memory blocks in xarray to accelerate lookup

Searching for a particular memory block by id is an O(n) operation because
each memory block's underlying device is kept in an unsorted linked list
on the subsystem bus.

We can cut the lookup cost to O(log n) if we cache each memory block
in an xarray.  This time complexity improvement is significant on
systems with many memory blocks.  For example:

1. A 128GB POWER9 VM with 256MB memblocks has 512 blocks.  With this
   change  memory_dev_init() completes ~12ms faster and walk_memory_blocks()
   completes ~12ms faster.

[    0.021591] memory_dev_init: added memory blocks
[    0.022699] walk_memory_blocks: walking memory blocks

[    0.010519] walk_memory_blocks: walking memory blocks
[    0.014135] walk_memory_blocks: walked memory blocks 0-511

2. A 256GB POWER9 LPAR with 256MB memblocks has 1024 blocks.  With
   this change memory_dev_init() completes ~88ms faster and
   walk_memory_blocks() completes ~87ms faster.

[    0.316988] walk_memory_blocks: walked memory blocks 131072-131583

3. A 32TB POWER9 LPAR with 256MB memblocks has 131072 blocks.  With
   this change we complete memory_dev_init() ~37 minutes faster and
   walk_memory_blocks() at least ~30 minutes faster.  The exact timing
   for walk_memory_blocks() is  missing, though I observed that the
   soft lockups in walk_memory_blocks() disappeared with the change,
   suggesting that lower bound.

[   15.660035] memory_dev_init: added all blocks
(the walk_memory_blocks traces disappear)

There should be no significant negative impact for machines with few
memory blocks.  A sparse xarray has a small footprint and an O(log n)
lookup is negligibly slower than an O(n) lookup for only the smallest
number of memory blocks.

1. A 16GB x86 machine with 128MB memblocks has 132 blocks.  With this
   change memory_dev_init() completes ~300us faster and walk_memory_blocks()
   completes no faster or slower.  The improvement is pretty close to noise.
