[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/tpm: Reserve SML log when kexec'ing with kexec_file_load()

The TPM code in prom_init.c creates a small buffer of memory to store
the TPM's SML (Stored Measurement Log). It's communicated to Linux via
the linux,sml-base/size device tree properties of the TPM node.

When kexec'ing that buffer can be overwritten, or when kdump'ing it may
not be mapped by the second kernel. The latter can lead to a crash when
booting the second kernel such as:

  tpm_ibmvtpm 71000003: CRQ initialization completed

To fix the crash, add the SML region to the usable memory areas for the
kdump kernel, so that the second kernel will map the region. To avoid
corruption of the region, add the region to the reserved memory areas,
so that the second kernel does not use the memory for something else.

Note that when loading a kdump kernel with the regular kexec_load()
syscall the SML may be overwritten by the kdump kernel, depending on
where the SML is in memory in relation to the crashkernel region. That
is a separate problem that is not solved by this patch.
