[PATCH] kexec: avoid out of bounds in crash_exclude_mem_range()

When the split happened, judge whether mem->nr_ranges is equal to
mem->max_nr_ranges. If it is true, return -ENOMEM.

The advantage of doing this is that it can avoid array bounds caused by
some bugs. E.g., Before commit 4831be702b95 ("arm64/kexec: Fix missing
extra range for crashkres_low."), reserve both high and low memories for
the crashkernel may cause out of bounds.

On the other hand, move this code before the split to ensure that the
array will not be changed when return error.
