[PATCH v4 1/2] arm64: kdump: Provide default size when crashkernel=Y,low is not specified

[Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.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.
