mm, devm_memremap_pages: kill mapping "System RAM" support 

commit 06489cfbd9 upstream.

Given the fact that devm_memremap_pages() requires a percpu_ref that is
torn down by devm_memremap_pages_release() the current support for mapping
RAM is broken.

Support for remapping "System RAM" has been broken since the beginning and
there is no existing user of this this code path, so just kill the support
and make it an explicit error.

This cleanup also simplifies a follow-on patch to fix the error path when
setting a devm release action for devm_memremap_pages_release() fails.
