If crash hotplug is supported, dm-crypt keys saved to reserved memory
will be taken care of automatically. Thus it doesn't make sense to use
configfs/crash_dm_crypt_key/reuse. Reserving image->dm_crypt_keys_addr
is also unnecessary. Currently x86_64 and ppc64le have implemented
crash hotplug feature.
Also update the doc accordingly. Note two doc issues are fixed as well.
Fixes: 9ebfa8dcaea7 ("crash_dump: reuse saved dm crypt keys for CPU/memory hot-plugging")
