kexec: premit reduction of the reserved memory size

Implement shrinking the reserved memory for crash kernel, if it is more
than enough.

For example, if you have already reserved 128M, now you just want 100M,
you can do:

# echo $((100*1024*1024)) > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size

Note, you can only do this before loading the crash kernel.
