powerpc/kexec: Check crash_base for relocatable kernel

Enforce that the crash kernel region never overlaps the current kernel,
as it will be written directly on kexec load.

Also, default to the previous KDUMP_KERNELBASE if the start is 0.

Other architectures (x86, ia64) state that specifying the start address
0 (or omitting it) will result in the kernel allocating it.  Before the
relocatable patch in 2.6.28, powerpc would adjust any other start value
to the hardcoded KDUMP_KERNELBASE of 32M.
