[PATCH v13 3/7] crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support

CPU and memory change notifications are received in order to
regenerate the elfcorehdr.

To support cpu hotplug, a callback is registered to capture the
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN online and offline events via
cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls().

To support memory hotplug, a notifier is registered to capture the
MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier().

The cpu callback and memory notifiers call handle_hotplug_event()
which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the
architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event(). During the
process, the kexec_lock is held.
