[Crash-utility PATCH V2] RISCV64: Use va_kernel_pa_offset in VTOP()

Since RISC-V Linux v6.4, the commit 3335068f8721 ("riscv: Use
PUD/P4D/PGD pages for the linear mapping") changes phys_ram_base from
the physical start of the kernel to the actual start of the DRAM.

The Crash's VTOP() still uses phys_ram_base and kernel_map.virt_addr
to translate kernel virtual address, that made Crash boot failed with
Linux v6.4 and later version.

Let Linux export kernel_map.va_kernel_pa_offset in v6.5 and backported
v6.4.0 stable, so Crash can use "va_kernel_pa_offset" to translate the
kernel virtual address in VTOP() correctly.

Changes since V1:
  - remove unnecessary first kernel version check as Kazu suggested
  - amend the commit-msg as Alex suggested
