[PATCH v3] arm64: Do not defer reserve_crashkernel() for platforms with no DMA memory zones

[Vijay Balakrishna <vijayb@linux.microsoft.com>]

The following patches resulted in deferring crash kernel reservation to
mem_init(), mainly aimed at platforms with DMA memory zones (no IOMMU),
in particular Raspberry Pi 4.

commit 1a8e1cef7603 ("arm64: use both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32")
commit 8424ecdde7df ("arm64: mm: Set ZONE_DMA size based on devicetree's dma-ranges")
commit 0a30c53573b0 ("arm64: mm: Move reserve_crashkernel() into mem_init()")
commit 2687275a5843 ("arm64: Force NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS if crashkernel reservation is required")

Above changes introduced boot slowdown due to linear map creation for
all the memory banks with NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS, see discussion[1].  The proposed
changes restore crash kernel reservation to earlier behavior thus avoids
slow boot, particularly for platforms with IOMMU (no DMA memory zones).

Tested changes to confirm no ~150ms boot slowdown on our SoC with IOMMU
and 8GB memory.  Also tested with ZONE_DMA and/or ZONE_DMA32 configs to confirm
no regression to deferring scheme of crash kernel memory reservation.
In both cases successfully collected kernel crash dump.

Changes from v2 -> v3
---------------------
- IS_ENABLED() does not need to be an #ifdef (Mike's comment)

[v2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/1645646253-16072-1-git-send-email-vijayb@linux.microsoft.com/

Changes from v1 -> v2
---------------------
- replaced '!crashk_res.end' with IS_ENABLED(ZONE_DMA/DMA32) (Nicolas's comment)
- minor change to make it uniform -- replaced #if defined(..) -> #if IS_ENABLED(..)
- added new comment in arch/arm64/mm/init.c to ease future maintenance (Nicolas's comment)
- test performed comment moved to commit message
