[Makedumpfile PATCH v2 2/2] x86_64: calculate page_offset in case of re-filtering

we do not call get_elf_info() in case of refiltering. Therefore, we will
not have any pt_load in that case, and so we get:

get_page_offset_x86_64: Can't get any pt_load to calculate page offset.

However, we will have vmcoreinfo and vmlinux information in case of
re-filtering. So, we are able to find kaslr offset and we can get
page_offset_base address. Thus we can read the page offset as well.
However, if kaslr is not enabled then use old method to find fixed page
offset.
