powerpc: implement arch_reserved_kernel_pages
Currently significant amount of memory is reserved only in kernel booted
to capture kernel dump using the fa_dump method.
Kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT will initialize
only certain size memory per node. The certain size takes into account
the dentry and inode cache sizes. Currently the cache sizes are
calculated based on the total system memory including the reserved memory.
However such a kernel when booting the same kernel as fadump kernel will
not be able to allocate the required amount of memory to suffice for the
dentry and inode caches. This results in crashes like
Hence only implement arch_reserved_kernel_pages() for CONFIG_FA_DUMP
configurations. The amount reserved will be reduced while calculating the
large caches and will avoid crashes like the below on large systems such
as 32 TB systems.
Dentry cache hash table entries:
536870912 (order: 16,
4294967296 bytes)
