[RFC v3 PATCH 4/5] powerpc/crash hp: add crash hotplug support for kexec_file_load

Two major changes are done to enable the crash CPU hotplug handler.
Firstly, updated the kexec_load path to prepare kimage for hotplug
changes and secondly, implemented the crash hotplug handler itself.

On the kexec load path, memsz allocation of crash FDT segment is
updated to ensure that it has sufficient buffer space to accommodate
future hot add CPUs. Initialized the kimage members to track the FDT
segment.

The crash hotplug handler updates the cpus node of crash FDT. While
we update crash FDT the kexec_crash_image is marked invalid and restored
after FDT update to avoid race.

Since memory crash hotplug support is not there yet the crash hotplug
handler simply warn the user and return.
