Subject: [PATCH v5 1/7] arm64: mm: Move reserve_crashkernel() into mem_init()

crashkernel might reserve memory located in ZONE_DMA. We plan to delay
ZONE_DMA's initialization after unflattening the devicetree and ACPI's
boot table initialization, so move it later in the boot process.
Specifically into mem_init(), this is the last place crashkernel will be
able to reserve the memory before the page allocator kicks in. There
isn't any apparent reason for doing this earlier.
