[PATCH v25 07/10] x86/crash: add x86 crash hotplug support

When CPU or memory is hot un/plugged, or off/onlined, the crash
elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs and memory in the system,
must also be updated.
A new elfcorehdr is generated from the available CPUs and memory
and replaces the existing elfcorehdr. The segment containing the
elfcorehdr is identified at run-time in
crash_core:crash_handle_hotplug_event().
No modifications to purgatory (see 'kexec: exclude elfcorehdr
from the segment digest') or boot_params (as the elfcorehdr=
capture kernel command line parameter pointer remains unchanged
and correct) are needed, just elfcorehdr.
For kexec_file_load(), the elfcorehdr segment size is based on
NR_CPUS and CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES in order to accommodate a
growing number of CPU and memory resources.
For kexec_load(), the userspace kexec utility needs to size the
elfcorehdr segment in the same/similar manner.
To accommodate kexec_load() syscall in the absence of
kexec_file_load() syscall support, prepare_elf_headers() and
dependents are moved outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE.
