[Crash-utility] [PATCH] Fix pvops Xen detection for arm machine

Since the xen_start_info on the arm/arm64 platform is static defined:

./arm/xen/enlighten.c:40:static struct start_info _xen_start_info;
./arm/xen/enlighten.c:41:struct start_info *xen_start_info = &_xen_start_info;
./arm/xen/enlighten.c:42:EXPORT_SYMBOL(xen_start_info);

The is_pvops_xen() in commit 4badc6229c69f5cd9da7eb7bdf400a53ec6db01a
("Fix pvops Xen detection for kernels >= v4.20") always return TRUE.
Then the following error will be reported because p2m_mid_missing
and xen_p2m_addr are not defined:

	crash: cannot resolve "p2m_top"

For the arm/arm64 platform, fix it by using xen_vcpu_info instead of
xen_start_info to detect Xen dumps.
