Subject: [PATCH 2/5 V4] Allocate pages for kdump without encryption when SME is enabled

When SME is enabled in the first kernel, we will allocate pages
for kdump without encryption in order to be able to boot the
second kernel in the same manner as kexec, which helps to keep
the same code style.

Some changes:
1. remove some redundant codes for crash control pages.
