[PATCH] xen/dt: reject "xen,static-mem" when CONFIG_STATIC_MEMORY is disabled

Message-ID <[email protected]>
process_domain_node() parses "xen,static-mem" regardless of
CONFIG_STATIC_MEMORY. With the feature off, init_staticmem_pages() is a
no-op stub, so boot carries on until construct_domU() reaches the
ASSERT_UNREACHABLE() stubs of allocate_static_memory() /
assign_static_memory_11(): a debug build trips the assertion, a production
build gives the domain no memory at all.

Bail out at parse time instead, like process_shm_node() already does for
CONFIG_STATIC_SHM.

Fixes: 41c031ff437b ("xen/arm: introduce domain on Static Allocation")
