arm64: kdump: Support crashkernel=X fall back to reserve region above DMA zones

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2112877
Upstream Status: linux tree
Conflict: None
Tested: on ampere-mtjade-altra-03.khw4.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com

        Try to allocate at least 128 MiB low memory automatically for the case
        that crashkernel=,high is explicitly specified, while crashkenrel=,low
        is omitted. This allows users to focus more on the high memory
        requirements of their business rather than the low memory requirements
        of the crash kernel booting.
