[PATCHv2] kernel/crash: make parse_crashkernel()'s return value more indicant

From: Pingfan Liu
Date: Wed Apr 24 2019 - 02:33:34 EST


At present, both return and crash_size should be checked to guarantee the
success of parse_crashkernel().

Take a close look at the cases, which causes crash_size=0. Beside syntax
error, three cases cause parsing to get crash_size=0.
-1st. in parse_crashkernel_mem(), the demanded crash size is bigger than
system ram.
-2nd. in parse_crashkernel_mem(), the system ram size does not match any
item in the range list.
-3rd. "crashkernel=0MB", which is impractical.

All these cases can be treated as invalid argument.

By this way, only need a simple check on return value of
parse_crashkernel().
