crash_dump: Remove no longer used saved_max_pfn
saved_max_pfn was originally introduced in commit 92aa63a5a1bf ("[PATCH] kdump: Retrieve saved max pfn") It used to make sure that the user does not try to read the physical memory beyond saved_max_pfn. But since commit 921d58c0e699 ("vmcore: remove saved_max_pfn check") it's no longer used for the check. This variable doesn't have any users anymore so just remove it.
