Currently on arm64, NT_PRSTATUS notes in dumpfile are not mapped to
online cpus and machine_specific->panic_task_regs correctly.  As a
result, the "bt" command can cause a segmentation fault.

  crash> bt -c 0
  PID: 0      TASK: ffff8000117fa240  CPU: 0   COMMAND: "swapper/0"
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

To fix this,
1) make map_cpus_to_prstatus_kdump_cmprs() map the notes to
   dd->nt_prstatus_percpu also on arm64, and
2) move arm64_get_crash_notes() to machdep_init(POST_INIT) in order
   to apply the mapping to machine_specific->panic_task_regs.

Note: I suspect that the machine_type("ARM64") in commit 9b41d403b16c might
be placed for debugging and contained in the commit by accident.  Because
that segfault could be caused by the uninitialized machdep->process_elf_notes.
