[PATCH v2] ppc/fadump: collect dump if the collected size is lesser than reserved

[Shivang Upadhyay]

During Fadump in Qemu VM, when maxcpus value is set to more than current
cpus, following failure is observed.

    [0.000000] rtas: Dump taken by platform is incomplete (-1)

This is because the CPU_STATE_DATA is allocated for maxcpus, while the
data is only filled for current cpus. As per current implementation
of Fadump, dumped_bytes and source_len for a region have to match,
Which is failing for qemu's case, Even tough the dumped bytes are
reported correctly for only the current cpus. After this /proc/vmcore
generatition also fails.

Allowing dumped_bytes to be lesser than or equal to allocated length, for
CPU_STATE_DATA Fadump region.

ChangeLog:

v2: Only allowing lesser size for CPU_STATE_DATE Fadump region.
