Unregister fadump on kexec down path otherwise the fadump registration
in new kexec-ed kernel complains that fadump is already registered.
This makes new kernel to continue using fadump registered by previous
kernel which may lead to invalid vmcore generation. Hence this patch
fixes this issue by un-registering fadump in fadump_cleanup() which is
called during kexec path so that new kernel can register fadump with
new valid values.
Fixes: b500afff11f6 ("fadump: Invalidate registration and release reserved memory for general use.")

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
