[PATCH v6] crash: export crashkernel CMA reservation to userspace

[Sourabh Jain <sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com>]

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

The reason for not including Crash CMA Ranges in /proc/iomem is to avoid
conflicts. It has been observed that contiguous memory ranges are sometimes
shown as two separate System RAM entries in /proc/iomem. If a CMA range
overlaps two System RAM ranges, adding crashk_res to /proc/iomem can create
a conflict. Reference [1] describes one such instance on the PowerPC
architecture.
