[PATCH v4 2/3] ARM: Fix crash memory reserve exceed system memory bug

Similar with x86_32, on Qemu vexpress-a9 with 1GB memory, the crash kernel
"crashkernel=4G" is ok as below:
	Reserving 4096MB of memory at 2432MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 1024MB)

The cause is that the crash_size is parsed and printed with "unsigned long
long" data type which is 8 bytes but allocated used with "phys_addr_t"
which is 4 bytes in memblock_phys_alloc_range().

Fix it by checking if the crash_size is greater than system RAM size and
warn out as parse_crashkernel_mem() do it if so as Baoquan suggested.

After this patch, it fails and there is no above confusing reserve
success info.

v4:
- Update the warn info to align with parse_crashkernel_mem().
- Rebased on the "ARM: Use generic interface to simplify crashkernel
  reservation" patch.
- Update the commit message.
v3:
- Handle the check in reserve_crashkernel() Baoquan suggested.
- Split x86_32 and arm32.
- Add Suggested-by.
- Drop the wrong fix tag.
v2:
- Also fix for x86_32.
- Update the fix method.
- Peel off the other two patches.
