On arm64, during kdump kernel saves vmcore, it runs into the following bug:

This bug introduced by commit b261dba2fdb2 ("arm64: kdump: Remove custom
linux,usable-memory-range handling"), which moves
memblock_cap_memory_range() to fdt, but it breaches the rules that
memblock_cap_memory_range() should come after memblock_add() etc as said
in commit e888fa7bb882 ("memblock: Check memory add/cap ordering").

As a consequence, the virtual address set up by copy_oldmem_page() does
not bail out from the test of virt_addr_valid() in check_heap_object(),
and finally hits the BUG_ON().

Since memblock allocator has no idea about when the memblock is fully
populated, while efi_init() is aware, so tackling this issue by calling the
interface early_init_dt_check_for_usable_mem_range() exposed by of/fdt.
