[PATCH 3/5] powerpc/kdump: preserve user-specified memory limit

[Sourabh Jain]

Commit 59d58189f3d9 ("crash: fix crash memory reserve exceed system
memory bug") fails crashkernel parsing if the crash size is found to be
higher than system RAM, which makes the memory_limit adjustment code
ineffective due to an early exit from reserve_crashkernel().

Regardless lets not violated the user-specified memory limit by
adjusting it. Remove this adjustment to ensure all reservations stay
within the limit. Commit f94f5ac07983 ("powerpc/fadump: Don't update
the user-specified memory limit") did the same for fadump.
