UPSTREAM: MIPS: cmdline: Add support for 'memmap' parameter

Implement support for parsing 'memmap' kernel command line parameter.

This patch covers parsing of the following two formats for 'memmap'
parameter values:

  - nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
  - nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]

  ([KMG] = K M or G (kilo, mega, giga))

These two allowed formats for parameter value are already documented
in file kernel-parameters.txt in Documentation/admin-guide folder.
Some architectures already support them, but Mips did not prior to
this patch.

Excerpt from Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt:

memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
    [KNL] Force usage of a specific region of memory.
    Region of memory to be used is from ss to ss+nn.

memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
    Mark specific memory as reserved.
    Region of memory to be reserved is from ss to ss+nn.
    Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
        memmap=64K$0x18690000
        or
        memmap=0x10000$0x18690000

There is no need to update this documentation file with respect to
this patch.
