This series tries to fix the potential cmem->ranges out of bounds.

On the v1 version, there are still some issues that need to be
discussed, as follows:

1) Whether we need have the cmem->ranges[] partly changed, or keep it
unchanged when OOB happened. Previously discussed link:[1].

2) Set cmem->max_nr_ranges in crash_setup_memmap_entries() to 1 or 2.
Previously discussed link:[2].

3) To enhance crash_setup_memmap_entries() readability, how to move
code. Previously discussed link:[2].

v2:
  - Fix potential out of bounds in crash_setup_memmap_entries().
  - Add a comment in fill_up_crash_elf_data() to explain why the array
    size do not need to be changed.

v1:
