resource: Fix generic page_is_ram() for partial RAM pages
The System RAM walk shall skip partial RAM pages and avoid calling
func() on them. So that page_is_ram() return 0 for a partial RAM page.
In particular, it shall not call func() with len=0.
This fixes a boot time bug reported by Sachin and root caused by Thomas:

The return code is -EINVAL, so it failed in the is_ram check, which is
not too surprising

The ACPI data is not starting on a page boundary and neither does the
usable RAM area end on a page boundary. Very useful !
> ACPI: DSDT 00000000cffa3900 036CE (v01 IBM SERLEWIS 00001000 INTL 20060912)
ACPI is trying to map DSDT at cffa3900, which results in a check
vs. cffa3000 which is the relevant page boundary. The generic is_ram
check correctly identifies that as RAM because it's in the usable
resource area. The old e820 based is_ram check does not take
overlapping resource areas into account. That's why it works.
