x86/mm: Remove region_is_ram() call from ioremap
__ioremap_caller() calls region_is_ram() to walk through the
iomem_resource table to check if a target range is in RAM, which was
added to improve the lookup performance over page_is_ram() (commit
906e36c5c717 "x86: use optimized ioresource lookup in ioremap
function"). page_is_ram() was no longer used when this change was
added, though.
__ioremap_caller() then calls walk_system_ram_range(), which had
replaced page_is_ram() to improve the lookup performance (commit
c81c8a1eeede "x86, ioremap: Speed up check for RAM pages").
Since both checks walk through the same iomem_resource table for
the same purpose, there is no need to call both functions.
Aside of that walk_system_ram_range() is the only useful check at the
moment because region_is_ram() always returns -1 due to an
implementation bug. That bug in region_is_ram() cannot be fixed
without breaking existing ioremap callers, which rely on the subtle
difference of walk_system_ram_range() versus non page aligned ranges.
Once these offending callers are fixed we can use region_is_ram() and
remove walk_system_ram_range().
