Although the error handling path in xen_machine_kexec_setup_resource() is
somewhat minmal, it ought to be used if HYPERVISOR_kexec_op() fails when
getting the crash kernel region, as this indicates that an error occured,
not that the crash kernel region is empty.

Alex: This is a fairly trivial fix, please consider merging independantly
      of other kexec patches
