Subject: crash: use macro to add crashk_res into iomem early for specific arch

From: Baoquan He <bhe@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 32fbe5246582af4f611ccccee33fd6e559087252 upstream.

There are regression reports[1][2] that crashkernel region on x86_64 can't
be added into iomem tree sometime.  This causes the later failure of kdump
loading.

This happened after commit 4a693ce65b18 ("kdump: defer the insertion of
crashkernel resources") was merged.

Even though, these reported issues are proved to be related to other
component, they are just exposed after above commmit applied, I still
would like to keep crashk_res and crashk_low_res being added into iomem
early as before because the early adding has been always there on x86_64
and working very well.  For safety of kdump, Let's change it back.

Here, add a macro HAVE_ARCH_ADD_CRASH_RES_TO_IOMEM_EARLY to limit that
only ARCH defining the macro can have the early adding
crashk_res/_low_res into iomem. Then define
HAVE_ARCH_ADD_CRASH_RES_TO_IOMEM_EARLY on x86 to enable it.

Note: In reserve_crashkernel_low(), there's a remnant of crashk_low_res
handling which was mistakenly added back in commit 85fcde402db1 ("kexec:
split crashkernel reservation code out from crash_core.c").
