Baoquan He 50aa6dea24 kexec-kdump-howto: Add note on setting correct value of kptr_restrict 
kdumpctl fails to load a crash kernel if KASLR is enabled.

The incorrect configuration of the kptr_restrict parameter causes that
the kdumpctl fails to load a crash kernel. The problem occurs when the
Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR) mechanism is enabled.
The value of kptr_restrict decides how to expose the content of /proc
files. Inappropriate setting will cause that the /proc/kallsyms file is
being printed as all zeros. This configuration will break the kdump
loading process since it needs access to the conntent of /proc/kallsyms
if KASLR is enabled.

Set kptr_restrict to 1 to avoid the problem described above.
