[PATCH] scripts: make extract-vmlinux support armel/armhf

[Roger Shimizu]

vmlinux/zImage on armel/armhf seems not an ELF, so update the script
scripts/extract-vmlinux to support such case.

This fix is tested on Debian amd64, armel, and armhf platform, with
Debian kernels.

Dear Michal, Masahiro-san, and Russell,

I posted this patch before [0] but didn't get positive response.
Recently when I trace a Debian kernel issue, I still find this patch
useful to locate the root cause [1].

Besides, it's a well known bug confuses other developers [2][3].
So I decide to submit the patch again.

[0]: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8120831/
[1]: https://bugs.debian.org/870185#50
[2]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-ubuntu/+bug/1050453
[3]: https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461

Please kindly help to review. Thank you!

Cheers,
Roger Shimizu, GMT +9 Tokyo
