kdump: crashk_res init check for /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been defined with the "crashkernel" parameter. In this case "crashk_res" is not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0. Unfortunately resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case. This breaks the s390 implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages(). To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when "crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size". In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs. "ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman.
