fadump: reserve param area if below boot_mem_top
The param area is a memory region where the kernel places additional command-line arguments for fadump kernel. Currently, the param memory area is reserved in fadump kernel if it is above boot_mem_top. However, it should be reserved if it is below boot_mem_top because the fadump kernel already reserves memory from boot_mem_top to the end of DRAM. Currently, there is no impact from not reserving param memory if it is below boot_mem_top, as it is not used after the early boot phase of the fadump kernel. However, if this changes in the future, it could lead to issues in the fadump kernel.
