Subject: [PATCH 5/5] arm64: kdump: Don't defer the reservation of crash high memory

If the crashkernel has both high memory above DMA zones and low memory
in DMA zones, kexec always loads the content such as Image and dtb to the
high memory instead of the low memory. This means that only high memory
requires write protection based on page-level mapping. The allocation of
high memory does not depend on the DMA boundary. So we can reserve the
high memory first even if the crashkernel reservation is deferred.

This means that the block mapping can still be performed on other kernel
linear address spaces, the TLB miss rate can be reduced and the system
performance will be improved.
