powerpc/fadump: Throw proper error message on fadump registration failure

maheshsal · mpe · commit f86593be1e7f · 2018-12-21T11:32:49.000+11:00
fadump fails to register when there are holes in reserved memory area.
This can happen if user has hot-removed a memory that falls in the
fadump reserved memory area. Throw a meaningful error message to the
user in such case.
