[PATCH v8 4/8] crash: add phdr for possible CPUs in elfcorehdr

[Sourabh Jain]

On architectures like PowerPC the crash notes are available for all
possible CPUs. So let's populate the elfcorehdr for all possible
CPUs having crash notes to avoid updating elfcorehdr during in-kernel
crash update on CPU hotplug events.

The similar technique is used in kexec-tool for kexec_load case.
