powerpc/fadump: re-register firmware-assisted dump if already registered
Firmware-Assisted Dump (FADump) needs to be registered again after any memory hot add/remove operation to update the crash memory ranges. But currently, the kernel returns '-EEXIST' if we try to register without uregistering it first. This could expose the system to racing issues while unregistering and registering FADump from userspace during udev events. Spare the userspace of this and let it be taken care of in the kernel space for a simpler interface. Since this change, running 'echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_registered' would result in re-regisering (unregistering and registering) FADump, if it was already registered.
