[PATCH v8 7/7] x86/crash: Add x86 crash hotplug support for kexec_load

[Eric DeVolder]

For kexec_file_load support, the loading of the crash kernel occurs
entirely within the kernel, and as such the elfcorehdr is readily
identified (so that it can be modified upon hotplug events).

This change enables support for kexec_load by identifying the
elfcorehdr segment in the arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event(),
if it has not already been identified.
