[PATCH v9 4/5] arm64: kdump: fix kdump broken with ZONE_DMA reintroduced

commit 1a8e1cef7603 ("arm64: use both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32")
broken the arm64 kdump. If the memory reserved for crash dump kernel
falled in ZONE_DMA32, the devices in crash dump kernel need to use
ZONE_DMA will alloc fail.

This patch addressed the above issue based on "reserving crashkernel
above 4G". Originally, we reserve low memory below 4G, and now just need
to adjust memory limit to arm64_dma_phys_limit in reserve_crashkernel_low
if ZONE_DMA is enabled. That is, if there are devices need to use ZONE_DMA
in crash dump kernel, it is a good choice to use parameters
"crashkernel=X crashkernel=Y,low".
