powerpc/64s: Fix build failure when CONFIG_PPC_64S_HASH_MMU is not set

The following build failure occurs when CONFIG_PPC_64S_HASH_MMU is not
set:

arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c: In function ‘setup_per_cpu_areas’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c:811:21: error: ‘mmu_linear_psize’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘mmu_virtual_psize’?
811 | if (mmu_linear_psize == MMU_PAGE_4K)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| mmu_virtual_psize
arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c:811:21: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Move the declaration of mmu_linear_psize outside of
CONFIG_PPC_64S_HASH_MMU ifdef.

After the above is fixed, it fails later with the following error:

ld: arch/powerpc/kexec/file_load_64.o: in function `.arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe':
file_load_64.c:(.text+0x1c1c): undefined reference to `.add_htab_mem_range'

Fix that, too, by conditioning add_htab_mem_range() symbol to
CONFIG_PPC_64S_HASH_MMU.

powerpc/kexec_file: Avoid stomping memory used by special regions

crashkernel region could have an overlap with special memory regions
like OPAL, RTAS, TCE table & such. These regions are referred to as
excluded memory ranges. Setup these ranges during image probe in order
to avoid them while finding the buffer for different kdump segments.
Override arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole() to locate a memory hole taking
these ranges into account.

powerpc/kexec_file: Add helper functions for getting memory ranges

In kexec case, the kernel to be loaded uses the same memory layout as
the running kernel. So, passing on the DT of the running kernel would
be good enough.

But in case of kdump, different memory ranges are needed to manage
loading the kdump kernel, booting into it and exporting the elfcore of
the crashing kernel. The ranges are exclude memory ranges, usable
memory ranges, reserved memory ranges and crash memory ranges.

Exclude memory ranges specify the list of memory ranges to avoid while
loading kdump segments. Usable memory ranges list the memory ranges
that could be used for booting kdump kernel. Reserved memory ranges
list the memory regions for the loading kernel's reserve map. Crash
memory ranges list the memory ranges to be exported as the crashing
kernel's elfcore.

Add helper functions for setting up the above mentioned memory ranges.
This helpers facilitate in understanding the subsequent changes better
and make it easy to setup the different memory ranges listed above, as
and when appropriate.
