[RFC][PATCH v3 05/16] kernel/vmcore_info: Register dynamic information into Kmemdump

[Eugen Hristev]

Register vmcoreinfo information into kmemdump.
Because the size of the info is computed after all entries are being
added, there is no point in registering the whole page, rather, call
the kmemdump registration once everything is in place with the right size.
A second reason is that the vmcoreinfo is added as a region inside
the ELF coreimage note, there is no point in having blank space at the end.
