[Crash-utility] [PATCH] Add alternate HZ calculation using write_expire

[HAGIO KAZUHITO(萩尾 一仁)]

Linux 4.8 and later kernels that contain kernel commit 9a7f38c42c2b
("cfq-iosched: Convert from jiffies to nanoseconds") changed the
definition of cfq_slice_async, and it cannot be used to calculate
the HZ value.

Add alternate HZ calculation using write_expire, which depends on
CONFIG_MQ_IOSCHED_DEADLINE or CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE.
