cxl/mem: Drop DVSEC vs EFI Memory Map sanity check

When the driver finds legacy DVSEC ranges active on a CXL Memory
Expander it indicates that platform firmware is not aware of, or is
deliberately disabling common CXL 2.0 operation. In this case Linux
generally has no choice, but to leave the device alone.

The driver attempts to validate that the DVSEC range is in the EFI
memory map. Remove that logic since there is no requirement that the
BIOS publish DVSEC ranges in the EFI Memory Map.

In the future the driver will want to permanently reserve this capacity
out of the available CFMWS capacity and hide it from
request_free_mem_region(), but it serves no purpose to warn about the
range not appearing in the EFI Memory Map.
