If the platform do not support memory above 4G, such as 32 bit arch,
and CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX is equal to CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX, the high
crash kernel memory reservation is meaningless and it will cause
dead loop and system stall:
-> reserve_crashkernel_generic() and high is true
-> memblock_phys_alloc_range() fail and return 0
-> search_end = CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX(same as CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX)
-> call memblock_phys_alloc_range() again and fail agin.
-> search_end == CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX satisfy again
......
However, the current check only considers the case where
CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX is greater than CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX. Fix it.
