[PATCH] arm64/crashdump-arm64: align 'Kernel code' with '_stext'

Since kernel commit e2a073dde921 ("arm64: omit [_text, _stext) from
permanent kernel mapping"), the physical address of 'Kernel code' in
/proc/iomem is mapped from _text, instead, from _stext.

Change the code to cope with this kernel change.
