drivers/base/memory: Avoid overhead from for_each_present_section_nr()
for_each_present_section_nr() was introduced to add_boot_memory_block()
by commit 61659efdb35c ("drivers/base/memory: improve add_boot_memory_block()").
It causes unnecessary overhead when the present sections are really
sparse. next_present_section_nr() called by the macro to find the next
present section, which is far away from the spanning sections in the
specified block. Too much time consumed by next_present_section_nr()
in this case, which can lead to softlockup as observed by Aditya Gupta
on IBM Power10 machine.

Avoid the overhead by folding for_each_present_section_nr() to the outer
loop. add_boot_memory_block() is dropped after that.
