Don't overwrite the request_resource() return value with -EEXIST in
register_memory_resource(), just propagate the return value. As we return
-EBUSY instead of -EEXIST when the desired resource is already occupied
now we need to adapt acpi_memory_enable_device(). -EBUSY is currently the
only possible error returned by request_resource() so this is just a
cleanup, no functional changes intended.

The result of this change is that add_memory() returns -EBUSY instead of
-EEXIST for overlapping ranges. This patch breaks hv_mem_hot_add() since
it strictly uses a return value of -EEXIST to indicate a non-transient
failure, so NACK. It also changes the return value of both the "probe"
and "dlpar" (on ppc) userspace triggers, which I could imagine is tested
from existing userspace scripts.

this is probably a show-stopper as we're bound by "we don't break
userspace" rule (and it's not worth it anyway). Thanks for pointing this
out!
Andrew, please drop this patch from your queue permanently. The patch 1
of the series is worthwhile (and is acked by David).
Thanks,
