[PATCH 2/3] elf: swap checking order of VMCOREINFO and VMCOREINFO_XEN

Currently, get_pt_note_info() checks ELF note in "VMCOREINFO_XEN" name
first and then in "VMCOREINFO" name to avoid the case where
"VMCOREINFO_XEN" is wrongly interpreted as "VMCOREINFO". However,
characters checked by strncmp() includes null character. The case
concerned about there can never happen. This patch swaps checking
order of VMCOREINFO and VMCOREINFO_XEN, which is natural in the sense
that the direction from general one to specific one is natural.
