[PATCH v4 1/5] memblock tests: update style of comments for memblock_add_*() functions

From: Rebecca Mckeever
Date: Sat Apr 30 2022 - 18:49:59 EST


Update comments in memblock_add_*() functions to match the style used
in tests/alloc_*.c by rewording to make the expected outcome more apparent
and, if more than one memblock is involved, adding a visual of the
memory blocks.
