  To: kexec, linux-s390; +Cc: eoin.mcnamara, iii, Joseph Cathcart

Improve memory reservation for initrd. Remove unnecessary initrd
range from memory_ranges[]. Initrd currently falls between
"System RAM" ranges, and is therefore already reserved.

Refactor so that arch_reuse_initrd() is responsible for populating
retained_initrd_base and retained_initrd_size, rather than
get_memory_ranges_s390().

Add die() case for when user uses --reuseinitrd while booting a
crash kernel.
