[PATCH v2 5/5] crash: export crashkernel CMA reservation to userspace

[Sourabh Jain]

Add a sysfs entry /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_cma_ranges to expose all
CMA crashkernel ranges.

This allows userspace tools configuring kdump to determine how much
memory is reserved for crashkernel. If CMA is used, tools can warn
users when attempting to capture user pages with CMA reservation.

The new sysfs hold the CMA ranges in below format:

cat /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_cma_ranges
100000000-10c7fffff
