ARM: kexec: avoid allocating crashkernel region outside lowmem 

Allocating the crashkernel region outside lowmem causes the kernel to
oops while trying to kexec into the new kernel:

This is caused by image->control_code_page being a highmem page, so
page_address(image->control_code_page) returns NULL.  In any case, we
don't want the control page to be a highmem page.

We already limit the crash kernel region to the top of 32-bit physical
memory space.  Also limit it to the top of lowmem in physical space.
