Subject: [PATCH] mips: kernel: setup: fix crash kernel resource allocation

In order to avoid crash kernel corruption, its memory is reserved
early in memblock and as result, in time when resources are inited
it's not present in memblock.memory, so crash kernel memory is out
of ranges listed with for_each_mem_range(). To avoid it and still
keep memory reserved lets reseve it out of loop by inserting it in
iomem_resource.

Fixes: a94e4f24ec83 ("MIPS: init: Drop boot_mem_map")
