[PATCH] riscv: kexec: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation

Commit 35c18f2933c5 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the
crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e042 ("kdump:
implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump
crashkernel reservation. This allows the kernel to dynamically allocate
contiguous memory for crash dumping when needed, rather than permanently
reserving a fixed region at boot time.

So extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to riscv. The following
changes are made to enable CMA reservation:

- Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel
  parameters.
- Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump.
- Include the CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel to use.
- Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to
  prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore.

Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on
riscv architecture.
