kho: remove global preserved_mem_map and store state in FDT

Browse source

Currently, the serialized memory map is tracked via
kho_out.preserved_mem_map and copied to the FDT during finalization.  This
double tracking is redundant.

Remove preserved_mem_map from kho_out.  Instead, maintain the physical
address of the head chunk directly in the preserved-memory-map FDT
property.

Introduce kho_update_memory_map() to manage this property. This function
handles:
1. Retrieving and freeing any existing serialized map (handling the
   abort/retry case).
2. Updating the FDT property with the new chunk address.

This establishes the FDT as the single source of truth for the handover
state.
