[PATCH v2 2/2] kexec: Consider crashk_low_res in sanity_check_segment_list()

We have crashk_res only in most cases, but sometimes we have
crashk_low_res.

For example, on 64-bit x86 systems, when "crashkernel=32M,high"
combined with "crashkernel=128M,low" is used, so some segments
may have the chance to be loaded into crashk_low_res area. We
can't fail it as a memory violation in these cases.

Thus, we add the case to regard the segment as valid if it is
within crashk_low_res.
