[PATCH 3/3 update] kdump: round up the total memory size to 128M for crashkernel reservation

[Dave Young]

The total memory size we get in kernel is usually slightly less than 2G with a
2G memory module machine. The main reason is bios/firmware reserve some area
it will not export all memory as usable to Linux.

2G memory X86 kvm guest test result of the total_mem value:
UEFI boot with ovmf: 0x7ef10000
Legacy boot kvm guest: 0x7ff7cc00
This is also a problem on arm64 UEFI booted system according to my test.

Thus for example crashkernel=1G-2G:128M,  if we have a 1G memory
machine, we get total size 1023M from firmware then it will not fall
into 1G-2G thus no memory reserved.

An option is to use dmi/smbios to get physical memory size, but it's not
reliable as well. According to Prarit hardware vendors sometimes screw this up.
Thus round up total size to 128M to workaround this problem.

Changes from previous version of 3/3:
1. improve changelog: add examples why this is a problem (comment from
   Baoquan He)
2. change to use SZ_128M (comment from Bhupesh Sharma)
