If crash_load_dm_crypt_keys() returned error, shouldn't we handle them
separately? If disk encryption is not used, we return a specific value
to indicate that, surely no need to pr_err(). However, if disk
encryption is used for kdump but error is caused and failed
crash_load_dm_crypt_keys(), why don't we error out for the case?

Maybe below change can be made to differentiate them?
