The two have different meanings:
"in_crash_kexec" indicates that kdump is taking place, while
kexec_crash_loaded() tells us only whether crash dump kernel has been
loaded or not.

It is crucial to distinguish them especially for machine_kexec()
which can be called on normal kexec even if kdump has been set up.
