[PATCH 4/5] arm64: kdump: Decide when to reserve crash memory in reserve_crashkernel()

After the kexec completes data loading, the crash memory must be set to be
inaccessible, to prevent the current kernel from damaging the data of the
crash kernel. But for some platforms, the DMA zones is not known until the
dtb or acpi table is parsed, but by then the linear mapping has been
created, all are forced to be page-level mapping.

To optimize the system performance (reduce the TLB miss rate) when
crashkernel=X,high is used. The reservation of crash memory is divided
into two phases: reserve crash high memory before paging_init() is called
and crash low memory after it. We only perform page mapping for the crash
high memory.

commit 031495635b46 ("arm64: Do not defer reserve_crashkernel() for
platforms with no DMA memory zones") has caused reserve_crashkernel() to
be called in two places: before or after paging_init(), which is
controlled by whether CONFIG_ZONE_DMA/DMA32 is enabled. Just move the
control into reserve_crashkernel(), prepare for the optimizations
mentioned above.
