Documentation: kdump: describe VMCOREINFO export for RISCV64

The following interrelated definitions and ranges are needed by the
kdump crash tool, which are exported by
"arch/riscv/kernel/crash_core.c":

    VA_BITS,
    PAGE_OFFSET,
    phys_ram_base,
    KERNEL_LINK_ADDR,
    MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END,
    VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END,
    VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END,

Document these RISCV64 exports above.

RISCV64
=======
VA_BITS
-------
The maximum number of bits for virtual addresses. Used to compute the
virtual memory ranges.
PAGE_OFFSET
-----------
Indicates the virtual kernel start address of the direct-mapped RAM region.
phys_ram_base
-------------
Indicates the start physical RAM address.
MODULES_VADDR|MODULES_END|VMALLOC_START|VMALLOC_END|VMEMMAP_START|VMEMMAP_END|KERNEL_LINK_ADDR
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Used to get the correct ranges:
* MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END : Kernel module space.
* VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END : vmalloc() / ioremap() space.
* VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END : vmemmap space, used for struct page array.
* KERNEL_LINK_ADDR : start address of Kernel link and BPF
