x86/setup: Do not reserve a crash kernel region if booted on Xen PV Xen PV domains cannot shut down and start a crash kernel. Instead, the crashing kernel makes a SCHEDOP_shutdown hypercall with the reason code SHUTDOWN_crash, cf. xen_crash_shutdown() machine op in arch/x86/xen/enlighten_pv.c. A crash kernel reservation is merely a waste of RAM in this case. It may also confuse users of kexec_load(2) and/or kexec_file_load(2). When flags include KEXEC_ON_CRASH or KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH, respectively, these syscalls return success, which is technically correct, but the crash kexec image will never be actually used.
