powerpc/fadump: handle crash memory ranges array index overflow
commit 1bd6a1c4b80a28d975287630644e6b47d0f977a5 upstream.
Crash memory ranges is an array of memory ranges of the crashing kernel
to be exported as a dump via /proc/vmcore file. The size of the array
is set based on INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS, which works alright in most cases
where memblock memory regions count is less than INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS
value. But this count can grow beyond INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS value since
commit 142b45a72e22 ("memblock: Add array resizing support").
On large memory systems with a few DLPAR operations, the memblock memory
regions count could be larger than INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS value. On such
systems, registering fadump results in crash or other system failures
like below:

as array index overflow is not checked for while setting up crash memory
ranges causing memory corruption. To resolve this issue, dynamically
allocate memory for crash memory ranges and resize it incrementally,
in units of pagesize, on hitting array size limit.
