Subject: [PATCH v12 1/9] x86: kdump: move CRASH_ALIGN to 2M

CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN can be selected from 2M to 16M and default
value is 2M, so move CRASH_ALIGN to 2M, with smaller value reservation
can have more chance to succeed.
And replace the hard-coded alignment with macro CRASH_ALIGN in function
reserve_crashkernel().
