We make the functions reserve_crashkernel[_low]() as generic for
x86 and arm64. Since reserve_crashkernel[_low]() implementations
are quite similar on other architectures as well, we can have more
users of this later.
So have CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RESERVE_CRASH_KERNEL in arch/Kconfig and
select this by X86 and ARM64.

There are following issues in arm64 kdump:
1. We use crashkernel=X to reserve crashkernel below 4G, which
will fail when there is no enough low memory.
2. If reserving crashkernel above 4G, in this case, crash dump
kernel will boot failure because there is no low memory available
for allocation.
3. Since commit 1a8e1cef7603 ("arm64: use both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32"),
if the memory reserved for crash dump kernel falled in ZONE_DMA32,
the devices in crash dump kernel need to use ZONE_DMA will alloc
fail.
To solve these issues, change the behavior of crashkernel=X and
introduce crashkernel=X,[high,low]. crashkernel=X tries low allocation
in DMA zone or DMA32 zone if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is disabled, and fall back
to high allocation if it fails.
We can also use "crashkernel=X,high" to select a region above DMA zone,
which also tries to allocate at least 256M in DMA zone automatically
(or the DMA32 zone if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is disabled).
"crashkernel=Y,low" can be used to allocate specified size low memory.
Another minor change, there may be two regions reserved for crash
dump kernel, in order to distinct from the high region and make no
effect to the use of existing kexec-tools, rename the low region as
"Crash kernel (low)".

Make the functions reserve_crashkernel[_low]() as generic.
Arm64 will use these to reimplement crashkernel=X.
