[PATCH v2] powerpc/fadump: reset dump area size if fadump memory reserve fails

In case fadump_reserve_mem() fails to reserve memory, the
reserve_dump_area_size variable will retain the reserve area size. This
will lead to /sys/kernel/fadump/mem_reserved node displaying an incorrect
memory reserved by fadump.
To fix this problem, reserve dump area size variable is set to 0 if fadump
failed to reserve memory.
Fixes: 8255da95e545 ("powerpc/fadump: release all the memory above boot memory size")
