Subject: [PATCH v8 6/9] vmcore: allocate ELF note segment in the 2nd kernel
 vmalloc memory

The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel
(old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for
old kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to
round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of
the buffers are in per-cpu area.

ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on
number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192,
and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size
amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even
now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single
cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block
fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory.

This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer
to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the
vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in
vmcore_list. Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note
segment and set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper
functions starts calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers
and size of ELF note segment.
