scsi: smartpqi: Add fw log to kdump



Add controller logs to kdump.

Driver allocates DMA memory and communicates this address to FW.  In the
event of system crash, host driver notifies the firmware about the crash
and firmware posts all the necessary logs in the pre-allocated host buffer
for firmware debugging.

Once firmware notifies the completion of the log uploading to the host
memory and host continues with the OS crash dump saving.

This is a "feature" driven capability and is backward compatible with
existing controller FW.

Rename some prefixes for OFA (Online-Firmware Activation ofa_*) buffers to
host_memory_*. So, not a lot of actual functional changes to
smartpqi_init.c, mainly determining the memory size allocation.

Added a function to notify the controller to copy debug data into host
memory before continuing kdump.

Most of the functional changes are in smartpqi_sis.c where the actual
handshaking is done.
