x86/kexec: fix potential cmem->ranges out of memory
In memmap_exclude_ranges(), elfheader will be excluded from crashk_res.
In the current x86 architecture code, the elfheader is always allocated at
crashk_res.start. It seems that there won't be a new split range. But it
depends on the allocation position of elfheader in crashk_res. To avoid
potential out of memory in future, add a extra slot. Otherwise loading
the kdump kernel will fail because crash_exclude_mem_range will return
-ENOMEM. random kexec_buf for passing dm crypt keys may cause a range
split too, add another extra slot here.
The similar issue also exists in fill_up_crash_elf_data(). The range to
be excluded is [0, 1M], start (0) is special and will not appear in the
middle of existing cmem->ranges[]. But in cast the low 1M could be
changed in the future, add a extra slot too.
