[PATCH v3 2/3] crash: Fix x86_32 crash memory reserve dead loop bug at high

[Jinjie Ruan]

On x86_32 Qemu machine with 1GB memory, the cmdline "crashkernel=512M" will
also cause system stall as below:

	ACPI: Reserving FACP table memory at [mem 0x3ffe18b8-0x3ffe192b]
	ACPI: Reserving DSDT table memory at [mem 0x3ffe0040-0x3ffe18b7]
	ACPI: Reserving FACS table memory at [mem 0x3ffe0000-0x3ffe003f]
	ACPI: Reserving APIC table memory at [mem 0x3ffe192c-0x3ffe19bb]
	ACPI: Reserving HPET table memory at [mem 0x3ffe19bc-0x3ffe19f3]
	ACPI: Reserving WAET table memory at [mem 0x3ffe19f4-0x3ffe1a1b]
	143MB HIGHMEM available.
	879MB LOWMEM available.
	  mapped low ram: 0 - 36ffe000
	  low ram: 0 - 36ffe000
	  (stall here)

The reason is that the CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX is equal to CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX
on x86_32, the first "low" crash kernel memory reservation for 512M fails,
then it go into the "retry" loop and never came out as below (consider
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX = CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX = 512M):

-> reserve_crashkernel_generic() and high is false
   -> alloc at [0, 0x20000000] fail
      -> alloc at [0x20000000, 0x20000000] fail and repeatedly
      (because CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX = CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX).

Fix it by skipping meaningless calls of memblock_phys_alloc_range() with
`start = end`

After this patch, the retry dead loop is avoided and print below info:
	cannot allocate crashkernel (size:0x20000000)

And apply generic crashkernel reservation to 32bit system will be ready.
