[PATCH v2] x86, kaslr: Kernel base can be randomized at 0-1G offset.

With kASLR enabled (CONFIG_RANDOMIZED_BASE=y), kernel virtual address
base is PAGE_OFFSET plus a randomized offset from 0 to 1G.

Current kexec-tools gets kernel vaddr and size from /proc/kcore. It
assumes kernel vaddr start/end is within the range [0,512M). If kaslr
enabled, kernel vaddr start/end will stay at [0+offset, 512M+offset).

To adapt kaslr, introduce a new macro X86_64_RANDOMIZED_BASE_MAX_OFFSET
to address the max offset and use this macro to filter out the kernel
text PT_LOAD from /proc/kcore.
