kdump: add missing RAM resource in crash_shrink_memory()

When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for
the newly added memory no RAM resource is created at the moment.

Example:

  $ cat /proc/iomem
  00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
    00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
    005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
    009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
  c0000000-cfffffff : Crash kernel
  d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM

  $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
  $ cat /proc/iomem
  00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
    00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
    005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
    009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
                                   <<-- here is System RAM missing
  d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM

One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline
using memory hotplug.  With this patch I insert a new "System RAM"
resource for the released memory.  Then the upper example looks like the
following:

  $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
  $ cat /proc/iomem
  00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
    00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
    005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
    009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
  c0000000-cfffffff : System RAM   <<-- new rescoure
  d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM

And now I can set chunk c0000000-cfffffff offline.
