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 whole commit now.
