[PATCH] RISC-V: Add fast call path of crash_kexec()

[Xianting Tian]

Currently, almost all archs (x86, arm64, mips...) support fast call
of crash_kexec() when "regs && kexec_should_crash()" is true. But
RISC-V not, it can only enter crash system via panic(). However panic()
doesn't pass the regs of the real accident scene to crash_kexec(),
it caused we can't get accurate backtrace via gdb,
	$ riscv64-linux-gnu-gdb vmlinux vmcore
	Reading symbols from vmlinux...
	[New LWP 95]
	#0  console_unlock () at kernel/printk/printk.c:2557
	2557                    if (do_cond_resched)
	(gdb) bt
	#0  console_unlock () at kernel/printk/printk.c:2557
	#1  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

With the patch we can get the accurate backtrace,
	$ riscv64-linux-gnu-gdb vmlinux vmcore
	Reading symbols from vmlinux...
	[New LWP 95]
	#0  0xffffffe00063a4e0 in test_thread (data=<optimized out>) at drivers/virtio/virtio_mmio.c:806
	806             *(int *)p = 0xdead;
	(gdb)
	(gdb) bt
	#0  0xffffffe00063a4e0 in test_thread (data=<optimized out>) at drivers/virtio/virtio_mmio.c:806
	#1  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

Test code to produce NULL address dereference,
	+extern int panic_on_oops;
	+static struct task_struct *k;
	+static int test_thread(void *data) {
	+
	+       void *p = NULL;
	+
	+       while (!panic_on_oops)
	+               msleep(2000);
	+
	+       *(int *)p = 0xdead;
	+
	+       return 0;
	+}
	+
	 static int __init virtio_mmio_init(void)
	 {
	+       k = kthread_run(test_thread, NULL, "test_thread");
	+       if (IS_ERR(k))
	+               pr_err("Couldn't create test kthread\n");
	+
	        return platform_driver_register(&virtio_mmio_driver);
	 }
