Commit 031495635b46 ("arm64: Do not defer reserve_crashkernel() for
platforms with no DMA memory zones"), this lets the kernel benifit
due to BLOCK_MAPPINGS, we could do more if ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32
enabled.

1) Don't defer reserve_crashkernel() if only ZONE_DMA32
2) Don't defer reserve_crashkernel() if ZONE_DMA with dma_force_32bit
   kernel parameter(newly added)

Unixbench benchmark result shows between the block mapping and page mapping.
