[PATCH v5 5/6] crash: forward memory_notify args to arch crash hotplug handler

The way memory hot remove is handled on PowerPC, it is hard to update
the elfcorehdr without memory_notify args.
On PowePC memblock data structure is used to prepare elfcorehdr for kdump.
Since the notifier used for memory hotplug crash handler get initiated
before the memblock data structure update happens (as depicted below),
the newly prepared elfcorehdr still holds the old memory regions. So if
the system crash with obsolete elfcorehdr, makedumpfile failed to collect
vmcore.
Sequence of actions done on PowerPC to serve the memory hot remove:
Initiate memory hot remove
|
v
offline pages
|
v
initiate memory notify call chain
for MEM_OFFLINE event.
(same is used for crash update)
|
v
prepare new elfcorehdr for kdump using
memblock data structure
|
v
update memblock data structure
How passing memory_notify to arch crash hotplug handler will help?
memory_notify holds the start PFN and page count, with that base address
and size of hot unplugged memory can calculated and same can be use to
avoid hot unplugged memory region to get added in the elfcorehdr.
