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
