Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 18/57] powerpc/kdump: Handle crashkernel memory
 reservation failure

From: Hari Bathini <hbathini@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 8950329c4a64c6d3ca0bc34711a1afbd9ce05657 ]

Memory reservation for crashkernel could fail if there are holes around
kdump kernel offset (128M). Fail gracefully in such cases and print an
error message.
