Subject: [PATCH] kexec: Account crashk_low_res to kexec_crash_size

"/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" only includes crashk_res, it
is fine in most cases, but sometimes we have crashk_low_res.
For example, when "crashkernel=size[KMG],high" combined with
"crashkernel=size[KMG],low" is used for 64-bit x86.

Let "/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" reflect all the reserved
memory including crashk_low_res, this is more understandable
from its naming.

Although we can get all the crash memory from "/proc/iomem"
by filtering all "Crash kernel" keyword, it is more convenient
to utilize this file, and the two ways should stay consistent.

Note that write to "/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" is to shrink
the reserved memory, and we want to shrink crashk_res only.
So we add some additional check in crash_shrink_memory() since
crashk_low_res now is involved.
