[PATCH v10 0/8] arm64/riscv: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation

The crash memory allocation, and the exclude of crashk_res, crashk_low_res
and crashk_cma memory are almost identical across different architectures,
This patch set handle them in crash core in a general way, which eliminate
a lot of duplication code.

And add support for crashkernel CMA reservation for arm64 and riscv.

Rebased on v7.0-rc1.

Basic second kernel boot test were performed on QEMU platforms for x86,
ARM64, and RISC-V architectures with the following parameters:

	"cma=256M crashkernel=256M crashkernel=64M,cma"

Changes in v10:
- Fix crashk_low_res not excluded bug in the existing
  RISC-V code.
- Fix an existing memory leak issue in the existing PowerPC code.
- Fix the ordering issue of adding CMA ranges to
  "linux,usable-memory-range".
- Fix an existing concurrency issue. A Concurrent memory hotplug may occur
  between reading memblock and attempting to fill cmem during kexec_load()
  for almost all existing architectures.
