Subject: [PATCH] crashdump: fix undefined reference to `elfcorehdr_addr'

fix build bug introduced by 95b68dec0d5 "calgary iommu: use the first
kernels TCE tables in kdump":

 arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `calgary_iommu_init':
 (.init.text+0x8399): undefined reference to `elfcorehdr_addr'
 arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `calgary_iommu_init':
 (.init.text+0x856c): undefined reference to `elfcorehdr_addr'
 arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `detect_calgary':
 (.init.text+0x8c68): undefined reference to `elfcorehdr_addr'
 arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `detect_calgary':
 (.init.text+0x8d0c): undefined reference to `elfcorehdr_addr'

make elfcorehdr_addr a generally available symbol.
