The description "crashkernel=X,[high,low] can be specified or not" is not
correct, because crashkernel=X,high must be specified when walking into this
branch. So use Simon's comments or copy arm64's comments(it's written for
parse_crashkernel_low()).

Seems like the whole "and high memory is reserved successful" needs to be deleted.
Only the dependency between the two boot options should be described here,
regardless of whether their memory is successfully allocated.
