4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Hari Bathini <hbath...@linux.ibm.com>
[ Upstream commit 8950329c4a64c6d3ca0bc34711a1afbd9ce05657 ]
Memory reservation for crashkernel could fail if there are holes around
kdump kernel offset (128M). Fail gracefully in such cases and print an
error message.
