[Crash-utility] [PATCHv5 3/3] crash-utility/arm64: assign page_offset with kernel configure value

On RHEL9, crash hits a bug when executing "crash /proc/kcore" :
   seek error: kernel virtual address: ffff6a0f3fff0000 type: "pmd page"

The kernel virtual address does not vary with va_actual bits, instead,
is determined by configuration value. But crash does not observe this
fact.

Since this disagreement only happens if 52-bits kernel on 48 bits platform,
it can be handled only if "phys_offset_nominal < 0".
