[PATCH v5 1/9] MIPS: Avoid future duplicate elf core header reservation

Prepare for early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() reserving the memory
occupied by an elf core header described in the device tree.
As arch_mem_init() calls early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() before
mips_reserve_vmcore(), the latter needs to check if the memory has
already been reserved before.

Note that mips_reserve_vmcore() cannot just be removed, as not all MIPS
systems use DT.
