memblock: Document memblock_is_region_{memory,reserved}()
At first glance one would think that memblock_is_region_memory() and memblock_is_region_reserved() would be implemented in the same way. Unfortunately they aren't and the former returns whether the region specified is a subset of a memory bank while the latter returns whether the region specified intersects with reserved memory. Document the two functions so that users aren't tempted to make the implementation the same between them and to clarify the purpose of the functions.
