s390: simplify memory notifier for protecting kdump crash kernel area

Browse Source 
Assume we have a crashkernel area of 256MB reserved:

root@vm0:~# cat /proc/iomem
00000000-6fffffff : System RAM
  0f258000-0fcfffff : Kernel code
  0fd00000-101d10e3 : Kernel data
  105b3000-1068dfff : Kernel bss
70000000-7fffffff : Crash kernel

This exactly corresponds to memory block 7 (memory block size is 256MB).
Trying to offline that memory block results in:

root@vm0:~# echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory7/state
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

[  128.458762] page:000003d081c00000 refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:00000000d01cecd4 index:0x0

[  128.458783] page dumped because: unmovable page

The craskernel area is marked reserved in the bootmem allocator. This
results in the memmap getting initialized (refcount=1, PG_reserved), but
the pages are never freed to the page allocator.

So these pages look like allocated pages that are unmovable (esp.
PG_reserved), and therefore, memory offlining fails early, when trying to
isolate the page range.

We only have to care about the exchange area, make that clear.
