[PATCH 1/4] powerpc/mmu: do MMU type discovery before crashkernel reservation

Crashkernel reservation on high memory depends on the MMU type, so
finalize the MMU type before calling arch_reserve_crashkernel().

With the changes introduced here, early_radix_enabled() becomes usable
and will be used in arch_reserve_crashkernel() in the upcoming patch.

early_radix_enabled() depends on cur_cpu_spec->mmu_features to find
out if the radix MMU is enabled. The radix MMU bit in mmu_features is
discovered from the FDT and kernel configs. To make sure the MMU type is
finalized before arch_reserve_crashkernel() is called, the function that
scans the FDT and sets mmu_features, along with some bits from
mmu_early_type_finalize(), has been moved above
arch_reserve_crashkernel().
