Jinjie Ruan 59d58189f3 crash: fix crash memory reserve exceed system memory bug
On x86_32 Qemu machine with 1GB memory, the cmdline "crashkernel=4G" is ok
as below:
	crashkernel reserved: 0x0000000020000000 - 0x0000000120000000 (4096 MB)

It's similar on other architectures, such as ARM32 and RISCV32.

The cause is that the crash_size is parsed and printed with "unsigned long
long" data type which is 8 bytes but allocated used with "phys_addr_t"
which is 4 bytes in memblock_phys_alloc_range().

Fix it by checking if crash_size is greater than system RAM size and
return error if so.

After this patch, there is no above confusing reserve success info.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
