[PATCH v2 1/2] makedumpfile: Adapt code to get value of phys_base

Kernel code only exports virtual address of phys_base now and it's helpless
for Crash and Makedumpfile. Below patch which changes code to export value
of phys_base has been posted to upstream. So adapt code to get it.

kexec: Change to export the value of phys_base instead of symbol address

v1->v2:
    Patch v1 is not compatible with the old kernel. Change code in
    get_phys_base_x86_64 and vtop4_x86_64 to avoid that according to
    Atsushi's suggestion.
