[PATCH] powerpc/kexec_file: Restore FDT size estimation for kdump kernel

Commit 2377c92e37fe ("powerpc/kexec_file: fix FDT size estimation for kdump
kernel") fixed how elf64_load() estimates the FDT size needed by the
crashdump kernel.

At the same time, commit 130b2d59cec0 ("powerpc: Use common
of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt()") changed the same code to use the generic
function of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt() to calculate the FDT size. That
change made the code overestimate it a bit by counting twice the space
required for the kernel command line and /chosen properties.

Therefore change kexec_fdt_totalsize_ppc64() to calculate just the extra
space needed by the kdump kernel, and change the function name so that it
better reflects what the function is now doing.
