[Makedumpfile PATCH v2] book3s/ppc64: Lower the max real address to 53 bits for kernels >= v4.11

Kernel commit 2f18d533757da3899f4bedab0b2c051b080079dc lowered the
max real address on ppc64 to 53 bits.

Make similar changes in makedumpfile (on basis of the underlying kernel
version), without which the makedumpfile will fail to create a dumpfile
and instead throw a SEGV fault as shown below on kernels >= v4.11:

 # makedumpfile --split -d 31 -x vmlinux vmcore dumpfile_{1,2,3} 2>&1

 The kernel version is not supported.
 The makedumpfile operation may be incomplete.

Changes since v1:
- As per Atsushi's comments introduced macros for 4_11 directly
  in v2 and use them in arch/ppc64.c
