I think much simpler would be to use the same constant for sizing
memblock.reserved and reserved_mem arrays.

If there is too much reserved regions in the device tree, reserving them in
memblock will fail anyway because memblock also starts with static array
for memblock.reserved, so doing one pass with memblock_reserve() and
another to set up reserved_mem wouldn't help anyway.
