free_bootmem() == free_early() with CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM

[Jan Beulich]

Why is free_bootmem() not calling free_early_partial() instead? I don't
think the (legacy?) bootmem allocator had a restriction on not allowing
partial blocks to be returned, and it certainly didn't fail on fragments of
blocks previously reserved with reserve_early() being freed.

Seems like a regression to me, but I'd like to understand first if there
is any deeper reason behind the chosen solution.

Thanks, Jan
