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.
