powerpc/fadump: update documentation about crashkernel parameter reuse

Browse source 
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.

1. Set config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP=y and build kernel.
2. Boot into linux kernel with 'fadump=on' kernel cmdline option.
3. Optionally, user can also set 'fadump_reserve_mem=' kernel cmdline
3. Optionally, user can also set 'crashkernel=' kernel cmdline

NOTE: If firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve memory then it will
fallback to existing kdump mechanism if 'crashkernel=' option
is set at kernel cmdline.
NOTE: 1. 'fadump_reserve_mem=' parameter has been deprecated. Instead
use 'crashkernel=' to specify size of the memory to reserve
