[PATCH 1/6] kexec: Export vmcoreinfo note size properly

Right now we seem to be exporting the max data size contained inside
vmcoreinfo note. But this does not include the size of meta data around
vmcore info data. Like name of the note and starting and ending elf_note.

I think user space expects total size and that size is put in PT_NOTE
elf header.
