Commit
59d58189f3d9 ("crash: fix crash memory reserve exceed system memory
bug") fails crashkernel parsing if the crash size is found to be higher
than system RAM, which makes the memory_limit adjustment code ineffective
due to an early exit from reserve_crashkernel().
Regardless lets not violate the user-specified memory limit by adjusting
it. Remove this adjustment to ensure all reservations stay within the
limit. Commit
f94f5ac07983 ("powerpc/fadump: Don't update the
user-specified memory limit") did the same for fadump.
