[PATCH v6 03/11] powerpc/kexec_file: add helper functions for getting memory ranges

In kexec case, the kernel to be loaded uses the same memory layout as
the running kernel. So, passing on the DT of the running kernel would
be good enough.

But in case of kdump, different memory ranges are needed to manage
loading the kdump kernel, booting into it and exporting the elfcore
of the crashing kernel. The ranges are exclude memory ranges, usable
memory ranges, reserved memory ranges and crash memory ranges.

Exclude memory ranges specify the list of memory ranges to avoid while
loading kdump segments. Usable memory ranges list the memory ranges
that could be used for booting kdump kernel. Reserved memory ranges
list the memory regions for the loading kernel's reserve map. Crash
memory ranges list the memory ranges to be exported as the crashing
kernel's elfcore.

Add helper functions for setting up the above mentioned memory ranges.
This helpers facilitate in understanding the subsequent changes better
and make it easy to setup the different memory ranges listed above, as
and when appropriate.

v5 -> v6:
* Dropped email address from copyright header of the new file being
  added: arch/powerpc/kexec/ranges.c
* Changed mrngs to mem_rngs. Using the convention mem_ranges for
  'struct crash_mem **' types & mem_rngs for 'struct crash_mem *'
  for easy readibility.
* Updated add_opal_mem_range() & add_rtas_mem_range() functions without
  goto statements.
* Moved implementation of all add_foo_mem_range(s)() functions to
  patch 04/11, where they are used.
* Fixed reference count leak in add_tce_mem_ranges() function and also
  updated error handling in reading tce table base & sizes.

v4 -> v5:
* Added Reviewed-by tag from Thiago.
* Added the missing "#ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64" around add_htab_mem_range()
  function in arch/powerpc/kexec/ranges.c file.
* add_tce_mem_ranges() function returned error when tce table is not found
  in a pci node. This is wrong as pci nodes may not always have tce tables
  (KVM guests, for example). Fixed it by ignoring error in reading tce
  table base/size while returning from the function.

v3 -> v4:
* Updated sort_memory_ranges() function to reuse sort() from lib/sort.c
  and addressed other review comments from Thiago.

v2 -> v3:
* Unchanged. Added Tested-by tag from Pingfan.

v1 -> v2:
* Added an option to merge ranges while sorting to minimize reallocations
  for memory ranges list.
* Dropped within_crashkernel option for add_opal_mem_range() &
  add_rtas_mem_range() as it is not really needed.
