update_crash_elfcorehdr() in arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c still calls
crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded(), causing a build failure.

ld: arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.o: in function `update_crash_elfcorehdr':
/root/linux/arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c:454: undefined reference to 
`crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded'


To fix this:
--------------

                         goto out;

With the above change included, things are working fine on powerpc.
