[PATCH v10 3/5] powerpc/crash: add crash CPU hotplug support

Introduce powerpc crash hotplug handler to update the necessary kexec
segments in the kernel on CPU/Memory hotplug events. Currently, these
updates are done by monitoring CPU/Memory hotplug events in userspace.
A common crash hotplug handler is triggered from generic infrastructure
for both CPU/Memory hotplug events. But in this patch, crash updates are
handled only for CPU hotplug events. Support for the crash update on
memory hotplug events is added in upcoming patches.
The elfcorehdr segment is used to exchange the CPU and other
dump-related information between the kernels. Ideally, the elfcorehdr
segment needs to be recreated on CPU hotplug events to reflect the
changes. But on powerpc, the elfcorehdr is built with possible CPUs
hence there is no need to update/recreate the elfcorehdr on CPU hotplug
events.
In addition to elfcorehdr, there is another kexec segment that holds CPU
data on powerpc is FDT (Flattened Device Tree). During the kdump kernel
boot, it is expected that the crashing CPU must be present in FDT, else
kdump kernel boot fails.
Now the only action needed on powerpc to handle the crash CPU hotplug
event is to add hot added CPUs in the kdump FDT segment to avoid kdump
kernel boot failure. So for the CPU hot add event, the FDT segment is
updated with hot added CPU and Since there is no need to remove the hot
unplugged CPUs from the FDT segment hence no action was taken for CPU
hot remove event.
To accommodate a growing number of CPUs, FDT is built with additional
buffer space to ensure that it can hold possible CPU nodes.
The changes done here will also work for the kexec_load system call
given that the kexec tool builds the FDT segment with additional space
to accommodate possible CPU nodes.
Since memory crash hotplug support is not there yet the crash hotplug
the handler simply warns the user and returns.
