[PATCH] kexec: Fix add_usable_memory to use buf of type uint64_t.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

A switchover from /kexec/arch/ppc64/fs2dt.c to common code under
/kexec/fs2dt.c broke the kdump on ppc64. The function add_usable_memory()
assumes that 'memory@*' node exports two 32bit values and fails
to populate mem ranges correctly. On ppc64, 'memory@*' exports two 64bit
values as below:

# hexdump /proc/device-tree/memory\@0/reg
0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0800 0000
0000010
#

This patch fixes add_usable_memory() to use buf[2] of type uint64_t.
