Prabhakar recently reported a kdump kernel boot failure on ThunderX2
arm64 plaforms (which I was able to reproduce on ampere arm64 machines
as well), (see [1]), which is seen when a corner case is hit on some
arm64 boards when kdump kernel runs with "cgroup_disable=memory" passed
to the kdump kernel (via bootargs) and the crashkernel was originally
allocated from either a ZONE_DMA32 memory or mixture of memory chunks
belonging to both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 regions.

While [PATCH 1/2] fixes the OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
function, [PATCH 2/2] fixes the OOM seen inside the kdump kernel by
allocating the crashkernel inside ZONE_DMA region only.
