In parse_crashkernel_mem, it silently return in case we get zero
bytes in the parsing function.  It is useful for debugging for
adding a message especially sometimes kernel can not boot
up correctly.

Add a pr_info instead of pr_warn because it is expected behavior for
size = 0, eg. crashkernel=2G-4G:128M, size will be 0 in case system
memory is less than 2G.
