[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/fadump: add a warning when 'fadump_reserve_mem=' is used

With commit 11550dc0a00b ("powerpc/fadump: reuse crashkernel parameter
for fadump memory reservation"), 'fadump_reserve_mem=' parameter is
deprecated in favor of 'crashkernel=' parameter. Add a warning if
'fadump_reserve_mem=' is still used.
