Xianting Tian d79c340488 RISC-V: Add fast call path of crash_kexec()

[ Upstream commit 3f1901110a89b0e2e13adb2ac8d1a7102879ea98 ]

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/test_crash.c:81
	81             *(int *)p = 0xdead;
	(gdb)
	(gdb) bt
	#0  0xffffffe00064d5c0 in test_thread (data=<optimized out>) at drivers/test_crash.c:81
	#1  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

Test code to produce NULL address dereference in test_crash.c,
	void *p = NULL;
	*(int *)p = 0xdead;
