[PATCH 1/6] kexec: fix a memory leak in crash_shrink_memory()

If the value of parameter 'new_size' is in the semi-open and semi-closed
interval (crashk_res.end - KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN + 1, crashk_res.end], the
calculation result of ram_res is:
ram_res->start = crashk_res.end + 1
ram_res->end = crashk_res.end
The operation of function insert_resource() fails, and ram_res is not
added to iomem_resource. As a result, the memory of the control block
ram_res is leaked.
In fact, on all architectures, the start address and size of crashk_res
are already aligned by KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN. Therefore, we do not need to
round up crashk_res.start again. Instead, we should round up 'new_size'
in advance.
Fixes: 6480e5a09237 ("kdump: add missing RAM resource in crash_shrink_memory()")
Fixes: 06a7f711246b ("kexec: premit reduction of the reserved memory size")
