[Crash-utility] [PATCH v2] x86_64: VC exception stack support

Linux-5.10 has introduced SEV-ES support. New (5th) exception
stack was added: 'VC_stack'.

'struct exception_stacks' cannot be used to obtain size of
VC stack, as it equals zero there. Try another structure
'struct cea_exception_stacks' first as it represents actual
CPU entry area with valid stack sizes and guard pages.

Added check for the case when VC stack is not mapped.
It happens when SEV-ES is not active or not supported.
