[PATCH] makedumpfile/arm64: Add '--mem-usage' support

Its good to have the makedumpfile '--mem-usage' support
for arm64 architecture as well, as it allows one to see the page numbers
of current system (1st kernel) in different use.
Using this we can know how many pages are dumpable when different
dump_level is specified.
Normally for x86_64, makedumpfile analyzes the 'System Ram' and
'kernel text' program segment of /proc/kcore excluding
the crashkernel range, then calculates the page number of different
kind per vmcoreinfo.
We use the similar logic for arm64, but in addition make the '--mem-usage'
usage dependent on the VMLINUX file being passed. This is done to allow
information like VA_BITS being determined from kernel symbol like
_stext. This allows us to get the VA_BITS before 'set_kcore_vmcoreinfo()'
is called.
Also I have validated the '--mem-usage' makedumpfile option on several
ppc64/ppc64le and s390x machines, so update the makedumpfile.8
documentation to indicate that '--mem-usage' option is supported
not only on x86_64, but also on ppc64, s390x and arm64.
After this patch, when using the '--mem-usage' option with makedumpfile,
we get the correct information about the different pages. For e.g.
here is an output from my arm64 board:
TYPE PAGES EXCLUDABLE DESCRIPTION
