[PATCH v3 6/6] crashdump/x86: set the elfcorehdr segment size for hotplug

[Eric DeVolder <eric.devolder@oracle.com>]

For hotplug, the elfcorehdr segment must be sized appropriately
to allow a growing number of CPUs or memory regions. Use the size
reported by the kernel via /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_sz.
