[PATCH v18 5/7] kexec: exclude hot remove cpu from elfcorehdr notes

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

In crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), the for_each_present_cpu() is
utilized to create the new elfcorehdr. When handling CPU hot
unplug/offline events, the CPU is still on the for_each_present_cpu()
list (not until the cpuhp state processing reaches CPUHP_OFFLINE does
the CPU exit the list). Thus the CPU must be explicitly excluded when
building the new list of CPUs.

This change identifies in handle_hotplug_event() the CPU to be
excluded, and the check for excluding the CPU in
crash_prepare_elf64_headers().
