[PATCH] kho: Skip zero-sized bootmem areas

[Chen Pei <cp0613@linux.alibaba.com>]

The lowmem and the global bootmem area are reserved unconditionally,
while the per-node loop below already skips nodes whose size works out
to 0. Either can legitimately be 0: the global size is the scaled total
minus the lowmem one, so it is 0 whenever all measured reservations fit
below ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT.

Reserving 0 bytes still succeeds, so an area covering nothing gets
recorded with a valid address. That is not neutral:
kho_bootmem_overlap() reports an overlap for any request straddling
that address, and memblock_alloc_hugetlb() aligns a request to its page
size, so a 1G hugetlb allocation retries a free candidate on account of
an area that holds nothing.

A machine whose memory all starts at or above ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT
hits the other side of the same code: the lowmem size is 0, the range
below the limit is empty, the allocation fails and KHO is disabled
although no lowmem area was needed.

Skip a zero-sized area instead, as the per-node loop does. The
descriptor count stays consistent, as kho_populate() derives it from
the segment length that kho_fill_kimage() serialises.

Fixes: 3dc92c311498 ("kexec: add Kexec HandOver (KHO) generation helpers")
