[PATCH v5 4/6] powerpc/crash: add crash CPU hotplug support

Introduce powerpc crash hotplug handler to update the necessary kexec
segments on CPU/Memory hotplug events. A common crash hotplug handler is
triggered from generic infrastructure for both CPU/Memory hot un/plugged
events but in this patch, only CPU un/plugged events are introduced. The
memory hotplug support is added in upcoming patches.

The elfcorehdr segment is used to exchange the CPU and other dump related
information between the kernels. Ideally, the elfcorehdr segment needs to
be recreated on CPU hotplug events to reflect the changes. But on PowerPC
elfcorehdr is built with all possible CPUs instead of just online CPUs
hence no elfcorehdr segment update/recreation is needed.

In addition to elfcorehdr there is one more kexec segment that holds CPU
data FDT (Flattened Device Tree). To boot the PowerPC kernel the crashing
CPU has to be part of the FDT segment. If the kdump kernel doesn't find
the crashing CPU in the FDT segment, it fails to boot.

The only action needed on PowerPC to handle the crash CPU hotplug event
is to add hot added CPUs in the FDT segment to avoid kdump kernel boot
failure in case the system crashes on hot added CPU.

So for the CPU hot add events, the FDT segment is updated with hot added
CPU and Since there is no need to remove the hot unplugged CPUs from the
FDT segment hence no action taken on CPU hot remove event in PowerPC arch
crash hotplug handler.

To accommodate a growing number of CPUs, FDT is built with additional
buffer space to ensure that it can hold all possible CPUs.

The changes done here will also work for kexec_load system call given
that the kexec tool builds the FDT segment with additional space to
accommodate all possible CPUs as it is done for kexec_file_load system
call in the kernel.

Since memory crash hotplug support is not there yet the crash hotplug
handler simply warns the user and returns.
