[PATCH 09/13] vmcore: copy ELF note segments in buffer on 2nd kernel

Objects exported from ELF note segments are in fact located apart from
each other on old memory. But on /proc/vmcore they are exported as a
single ELF note segment. To satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary
requirement, copy them in a page-size aligned buffer allocated by
__get_free_pages() on 2nd kernel and remap the buffer to user-space.
The buffer for ELF note segments is added to vmcore_list as the object
of VMCORE_2ND_KERNEL type.
Copy of ELF note segments is done in two pass: first pass tries to
calculate real total size of ELF note segments, and then 2nd pass
copies the segment data into the buffer of the real total size.
