[PATCH v3 1/2] arm64: kdump: Provide default size when crashkernel=Y,low is not specified

[Zhen Lei]

To be consistent with the implementation of x86 and improve cross-platform
user experience. Try to allocate at least 256 MiB low memory automatically
for the case that crashkernel=,high is explicitly specified, while
crashkenrel=,low is omitted.
