Hari Bathini e7467dc694 powerpc/fadump: Update comment about offset where fadump is reserved
With commit f6e6bedb77 ("powerpc/fadump: Reserve memory at an offset
closer to bottom of RAM"), memory for fadump is no longer reserved at
the top of RAM. But there are still a few places which say so. Change
them appropriately.

Hari Bathini 92019efc6c powerpc/fadump: update documentation about crashkernel parameter reuse
As we are reusing crashkernel parameter instead of fadump_reserve_mem
parameter to specify the memory to reserve for fadump's crash kernel,
update the documentation accordingly.
