[Makedumpfile Patch 4/6] elf_info: kcore: check for invalid physical address

After a recent kernel changes [0], kcore passes correct phys_start for
direct mapped region and an invalid value (-1) for all other regions.
arch specific function is_phys_addr() accepts only virt_start.
Therefore, check for valid phys_start in get_kcore_dump_loads().
