[Crash-utility] [PATCHv3] crash-utility/arm64: store phy_offset and memstart_addr separately

Crash encounters a bug like the following:
    ...

    crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffff000f789c0050  type: "IRQ stack pointer"
    crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffff000f78a60050  type: "IRQ stack pointer"
    crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffff000f78b00050  type: "IRQ stack pointer"
    ...

This bug connects with kernel commit 7bc1a0f9e176 ("arm64: mm: use
single quantity to represent the PA to VA translation"), memstart_addr
can be negative, which makes it different from real phys_offset.

In crash utility, PTOV() needs memstart_addr to calculate VA from PA,
while getting PFN offset in a dumpfile, phys_offset is required.

To serve the different purpose, using phys_offset_nominal and
phys_offset to store them.

v2 -> v3:
  rename ms->memstart_addr as ms->phys_offset_nominal ( I keep the name
as phys_offset* since it is in accordance with other platform
conventions)
