Subject: [PATCH v7 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 bootmem_init() since request_standard_resources()
depends on it.

Changes since v6:
 - Move crashkernel reserve placement earlier, in bootmem_init()
