OK. Will remove it.

I don't think we can remove this #ifdef.
"for_each_free_mem_range[_reverse]()" is defined under CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK
in memblock.h. If some architecture wants to support KEXEC_FILE but
doesn't have HAVE_MEMBLOCK, compiling kexec_file.c will fail.

OK. I will split this patch into two.
But just "moving" is impossible because the function names will be
duplicated in kexec_file.c.

Thank you for your reviews.
