[Crash-utility] 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 the
phys_ram_base from the kernel_map.phys_addr to the start of 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 Crash can
use "va_kernel_pa_offset" to translate the kernel virtual address in
VTOP() correctly.

You can check/test the Linux changes from this link:
https://github.com/sugarfillet/linux/commits/6.5-rc3-crash

And I'll send the Linux changes to riscv/for-next If you're ok with this patch.
