Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] arm64: kdump: defer the crashkernel reservation for
 platforms with no DMA memory zones

In commit 031495635b46 ("arm64: Do not defer reserve_crashkernel() for
platforms with no DMA memory zones"), reserve_crashkernel() is called
much earlier in arm64_memblock_init() to avoid causing base apge
mapping on platforms with no DMA meomry zones.

With taking off protection on crashkernel memory region, no need to call
reserve_crashkernel() specially in advance. The deferred invocation of
reserve_crashkernel() in bootmem_init() can cover all cases. So revert
the commit 031495635b46 now.

v1->v2:
- When trying to revert commit 031495635b46, two hunks were missed in v1
  post. Remove them in v2. Thanks to Leizhen for pointing out this. 
  - Remove code comment above arm64_dma_phys_limit definition added
    in commit 031495635b46;
  - Move the arm64_dma_phys_limit assignment back into zone_sizes_init()
    when both CONFIG_ZONE_DMA and CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 are not enabled.
