[PATCH 2/2] kexec_file: Load kernel at top of system RAM if required

[Baoquan He]

For kexec_file loading, if kexec_buf.top_down is 'true', the memory which
is used to load kernel/initrd/purgatory is supposed to be allocated from
top to down. This is also consistent with the old kexec loading interface.

However, the current arch_kexec_walk_mem() doesn't do like this. It ignores
checking kexec_buf.top_down, bug calls walk_system_ram_res() directly to go
through all resources of System RAM, to try to find memory region which can
contain the specific kexec buffer, then call locate_mem_hole_callback() to
allocate memory in that found memory region from top to down. This is not
right.

Here add checking if kexec_buf.top_down is 'true' in arch_kexec_walk_mem(),
if yes, call the newly added walk_system_ram_res_rev() to find memory region
from top to down to load kernel.
