Subject: [PATCH 2/5] crash: let arch decide crash memory export to iomem_resource

insert_crashkernel_resources() adds crash memory to iomem_resource if
generic crashkernel reservation is enabled on an architecture.

On PowerPC, system RAM is added to iomem_resource. See commit
c40dd2f766440 ("powerpc: Add System RAM to /proc/iomem").

Enabling generic crashkernel reservation on PowerPC leads to a conflict
when system RAM is added to iomem_resource because a part of the system
RAM, the crashkernel memory, has already been added to iomem_resource.

The next commit in the series "powerpc/crash: use generic crashkernel
reservation" enables generic crashkernel reservation on PowerPC. If the
crashkernel is added to iomem_resource, the kernel fails to add
system RAM to /proc/iomem and prints the following traces:

To avoid this, an architecture hook is added in
insert_crashkernel_resources(), allowing the architecture to decide
whether crashkernel memory should be added to iomem_resource.
