x86/setup: Do not reserve crashkernel high memory if low reservation failed People reported that when allocating crashkernel memory using the ",high" and ",low" syntax, there were cases where the reservation of the high portion succeeds but the reservation of the low portion fails. Then kexec can load the kdump kernel successfully, but booting the kdump kernel fails as there's no low memory. The low memory allocation for the kdump kernel can fail on large systems for a couple of reasons. For example, the manually specified crashkernel low memory can be too large and thus no adequate memblock region would be found. Therefore, we try to reserve low memory for the crash kernel *after* the high memory portion has been allocated. If that fails, we free crashkernel high memory too and return. The user can then take measures accordingly.
