[PATCH 1/4] powerpc/fadump: replicate /sys/kernel/fadump_* sysfs into /sys/kernel/fadump/

As the number of FADump sysfs files increases it is hard to manage all of
them inside /sys/kernel directory. It's better to have all the FADump
related sysfs files in a dedicated directory /sys/kernel/fadump. But to
maintain the backward compatibility all the /sys/kernel/fadump_* sysfs
files are replicated inside /sys/kernel/fadump/ and eventually get removed
in future.

Added ABI documentation for all the replicated FADump sysfs file in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fadump.
