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 in
order to maintain backward compatibility a symlink has been added for every
sysfs that has moved to new location.
As the FADump sysfs files are now part of a dedicated directory there is no
need to prefix their name with fadump_, hence sysfs file names are also
updated. For example fadump_enabled sysfs file is now referred as enabled.
Also consolidate ABI documentation for all the FADump sysfs files in a
single file Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fadump.

+Description: read/write
+ Helps to control the dump collect feature from userspace.
+ Setting 1 to this file enables the system to collect the

+Description: write only
+ This is a special sysfs file and only available when
+ the system is booted to capture the vmcore using FADump.
+ It is used to release the memory reserved by FADump to
+ save the crash dump.
