[PATCH v3 16/21] kexec: fill note buffers by NT_VMCORE_PAD notes in page-size boundary

Fill both crash_notes and vmcoreinfo_note buffers by NT_VMCORE_PAD
note type to make them satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary
requirement.
So far, end of note segments has been marked by zero-filled elf
header. Instead, this patch writes NT_VMCORE_PAD note in the end of
note segments until the offset on page-size boundary.
Also, old kernel can treat the ELF segments created without null
header because it stops reading ELF segments if real size it reads
reachs p_memsz.
