kdump, vmcoreinfo: Export pgtable_l5_enabled value
User-space utilities examining crash-kernels need to know if the
crashed kernel was in 5-level paging mode or not.
So write 'pgtable_l5_enabled' to vmcoreinfo, which covers these
three cases:
pgtable_l5_enabled == 0 when:
- Compiled with !CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL
- Compiled with CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y while CPU has no 'la57' flag
pgtable_l5_enabled != 0 when:
- Compiled with CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y and CPU has 'la57' flag
