<content type='text'>
memblock allocations now reserve memory with MEMBLOCK_RSRV_KERN and,
on NUMA configurations, record the requested node on the reserved
region. Several memblock simulator NUMA tests still expected merges
that only worked before those reservation semantics changed, so the
suite aborted even though the allocator behavior was correct.

Update the NUMA merge expectations in the memblock_alloc_try_nid()
and memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() tests to match the current reserved
region metadata rules. For cases that should still merge, create the
pre-existing reservation with matching nid and MEMBLOCK_RSRV_KERN
metadata. Also strengthen the memblock_alloc_node() coverage by
checking the newly created reserved region directly instead of
re-reading the source memory node descriptor.

Finally, drop the stale README/TODO notes that still claimed
memblock_alloc_node() could not be tested.

The memblock simulator passes again with NUMA enabled after these
updates.

<title>memblock tests: add generic NUMA tests for memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw</title>

<content type='text'>
Add tests for memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() where the simulated physical
memory is set up with multiple NUMA nodes. Additionally, all but one of
these tests set nid != NUMA_NO_NODE. All tests are run for both top-down
and bottom-up allocation directions.

The tested scenarios are:

Range unrestricted:
- region cannot be allocated:
      + there are no previously reserved regions, but requested node is
        too small
      + the requested node is fully reserved
      + the requested node is partially reserved and does not have
        enough space
      + none of the nodes have enough memory to allocate the region

Range restricted:
- region can be allocated in the specific node requested without
  dropping min_addr:
      + the range fully overlaps with the node, and there are adjacent
        reserved regions
- region cannot be allocated:
      + range partially overlaps with two different nodes, where the
        second node is the requested node
      + range overlaps with multiple nodes along node boundaries, and
        the requested node starts after max_addr
      + nid is set to NUMA_NO_NODE and the total range can fit the
        region, but the range is split between two nodes and everything
        else is reserved

<content type='text'>
Add TEST_F_EXACT flag, which specifies that tests should run
memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw(). Introduce range tests for
memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() by using the TEST_F_EXACT flag to run the
range tests in alloc_nid_api.c, since memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() and
memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() behave the same way when nid = NUMA_NO_NODE.

Rename tests and other functions in alloc_nid_api.c by removing "_try".
Since the test names will be displayed in verbose output, they need to
be general enough to refer to any of the memblock functions that the
tests may run.
