[PATCH v5] crash: Fix crash memory reserve exceed system memory bug

On x86_32 Qemu machine with 1GB memory, the cmdline "crashkernel=4G" is ok
as below:
crashkernel reserved: 0x0000000020000000 - 0x0000000120000000 (4096 MB)
It's similar on other architectures, such as ARM32 and RISCV32.
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 crash_size is greater than system RAM size and
return error if so.
After this patch, there is no above confusing reserve success info.

v5:
- Fix it in common parse_crashkernel() instead of per-arch.
- Add suggested-by.
v4:
- Update the warn info to align with parse_crashkernel_mem().
- Rebased on the "ARM: Use generic interface to simplify crashkernel
reservation" patch.
- Also fix for riscv32.
- 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.
- Update the commit message.
