Subject: [PATCH v2 4/9] mm: move free_reserved_area() to mm/memblock.c

From: Mike Rapoport <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:48:31 +0200

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <[email-masked]>

free_reserved_area() is related to memblock as it frees reserved memory
back to the buddy allocator, similar to what memblock_free_late() does.

Move free_reserved_area() to mm/memblock.c to prepare for further
consolidation of the functions that free reserved memory.

No functional changes.
