arm64: crash_core: Export MODULES, VMALLOC, and VMEMMAP ranges 

The following interrelated ranges are needed by the kdump crash tool:
	MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END,
	VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END,
	VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END

Since these values change from time to time, it is preferable to export
them via vmcoreinfo than to change the crash's code frequently.

-------------
Used to get the correct ranges:
MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END-1 : Kernel module space.
VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END-1 : vmalloc() / ioremap() space.
VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END-1 : vmemmap region, used for struct page array.
