kexec: Improve & fix crash_exclude_mem_range() to handle overlapping ranges

Browse Source 
The crash_exclude_mem_range() function can only handle one memory region a time.

It will fail in the case in which the passed in area covers several memory
regions. In this case, it will only exclude the first region, then return,
but leave the later regions unsolved.

E.g in a NEC system with two usable RAM regions inside the low 1M:

  ...
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000003efff] usable
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000000003f000-0x000000000003ffff] reserved
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000040000-0x000000000009ffff] usable

It will only exclude the memory region [0, 0x3efff], the memory region
[0x40000, 0x9ffff] will still be added into /proc/vmcore, which may cause
the following failure when dumping vmcore:

 ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000000040000 - 0x0000000000040fff
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 665 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:186 __ioremap_caller+0x2c7/0x2e0
 ...
 RIP: 0010:__ioremap_caller+0x2c7/0x2e0
 ...
 cp: error reading '/proc/vmcore': Cannot allocate memory
 kdump: saving vmcore failed

In order to fix this bug, let's extend the crash_exclude_mem_range()
to handle the overlapping ranges.
