Subject: [PATCH 5.7 329/376] powerpc/fadump: Account for memory_limit while reserving memory

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

commit 9a2921e5baca1d25eb8d21f21d1e90581a6d0f68 upstream.

If the memory chunk found for reserving memory overshoots the memory
limit imposed, do not proceed with reserving memory. Default behavior
was this until commit 140777a3d8df ("powerpc/fadump: consider reserved
ranges while reserving memory") changed it unwittingly.
