Extend the arch crash hotplug handler, as introduced by the patch title
("powerpc: add crash CPU hotplug support"), to also support memory
add/remove events.
Elfcorehdr describes the memory of the crash kernel to capture the
kernel; hence, it needs to be updated if memory resources change due to
memory add/remove events. Therefore, arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event()
is updated to recreate the elfcorehdr and replace it with the previous
one on memory add/remove events.
The memblock list is used to prepare the elfcorehdr. In the case of
memory hot removal, the memblock list is updated after the arch crash
hotplug handler is triggered, as depicted in Figure 1. Thus, the
hot-removed memory is explicitly removed from the crash memory ranges
to ensure that the memory ranges added to elfcorehdr do not include the
hot-removed memory.

Figure 1
There are two system calls, `kexec_file_load` and `kexec_load`, used to
load the kdump image. A few changes have been made to ensure that the
kernel can safely update the elfcorehdr component of the kdump image for
both system calls.
For the kexec_file_load syscall, kdump image is prepared in the kernel.
To support an increasing number of memory regions, the elfcorehdr is
built with extra buffer space to ensure that it can accommodate
additional memory ranges in future.
For the kexec_load syscall, the elfcorehdr is updated only if both the
KEXEC_UPDATE_FDT and KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR kexec flags are passed to
the kernel by the kexec tool. Passing these flags to the kernel
indicates that the elfcorehdr is built to accommodate additional memory
ranges and the elfcorehdr segment is not considered for SHA calculation,
making it safe to update it.
Commit 88a6f8994421 ("crash: memory and CPU hotplug sysfs attributes")
added a sysfs interface to indicate userspace (kdump udev rule) that
kernel will update the kdump image on memory hotplug events, so kdump
reload can be avoided. Implement arch specific function
`arch_crash_hotplug_memory_support()` to correctly advertise kernel
capability to update kdump image.
This feature is advertised to usersapce when following conditions are
met:
1. Kdump image is loaded using kexec_file_load system call.
2. Kdump image is loaded using kexec_load system and both
KEXEC_UPATE_ELFCOREHDR and KEXEC_UPDATE_FDT kexec flags are passed
to kernel.
The changes related to this feature are kept under the CRASH_HOTPLUG
config, and it is enabled by default.
