During a memory hot-remove event, the elfcorehdr is rebuilt to exclude the removed memory. While updating the crash memory ranges for this operation, the crash memory ranges array can become unsorted. This happens because remove_mem_range() may split a memory range into two parts and append the higher-address part as a separate range at the end of the array.
So far, no issues have been observed due to the unsorted crash memory ranges. However, this could lead to problems once crash memory range removal is handled by generic code, as introduced in the upcoming patches in this series. Currently, powerpc uses a platform-specific function, remove_mem_range(), to exclude hot-removed memory from the crash memory ranges. This function performs the same task as the generic crash_exclude_mem_range() in crash_core.c. The generic helper also ensures that the crash memory ranges remain sorted. So remove the redundant powerpc-specific implementation and instead call crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded() (which internally calls crash_exclude_mem_range()) to exclude the hot-removed memory ranges.
