Sourabh Jain c91c6062d6 Document/kexec: generalize crash hotplug description ...

Commit 79365026f869 ("crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support")
generalizes the crash hotplug support to allow architectures to update
multiple kexec segments on CPU/Memory hotplug and not just elfcorehdr. 
Therefore, update the relevant kernel documentation to reflect the same.

No functional change.
