x86/debug: Extend the lower bound of crash kernel low reservations
The following change in 2013:
0212f9159694 ("x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation")
... introduced reserve_crashkernel_low(). This function is used to
reserve crash kernel memory either if crashkernel=size,low is given
on the command line or if the region reserved by reserve_crashkernel
is entirely above 4G.
reserve_crashkernel_low() tries to find a block of 'low_size' bytes.
But there seems to be no good reason to restrict the lower bound
of the range to 'low_size'.
Make memblock_find_in_range() search from the start of memory.
