crash: fix crash memory reserve exceed system memory bug

On x86_32 Qemu machine with 1GB memory, the cmdline "crashkernel=4G" is ok
as below:
crashkernel reserved: 0x0000000020000000 - 0x0000000120000000 (4096 MB)

It's similar on other architectures, such as ARM32 and RISCV32.

The cause is that the crash_size is parsed and printed with "unsigned long
long" data type which is 8 bytes but allocated used with "phys_addr_t"
which is 4 bytes in memblock_phys_alloc_range().

Fix it by checking if crash_size is greater than system RAM size and
return error if so.

After this patch, there is no above confusing reserve success info.
