[PATCH v12 2/6] crash: make CPU and Memory hotplug support reporting flexible

Architectures' specific functions `arch_crash_hotplug_cpu_support()` and
`arch_crash_hotplug_memory_support()` advertise the kernel's capability
to update the kdump image on CPU and Memory hotplug events to userspace
via the sysfs interface. These architecture-specific functions need to
access various attributes of the `kexec_crash_image` object to determine
whether the kernel can update the kdump image and advertise this
information to userspace accordingly.

As the architecture-specific code is not exposed to the APIs required to
acquire the lock for accessing the `kexec_crash_image` object, it calls
a generic function, `crash_check_update_elfcorehdr()`, to determine
whether the kernel can update the kdump image or not.

The lack of access to the `kexec_crash_image` object in
architecture-specific code restricts architectures from performing
additional architecture-specific checks required to determine if the
kdump image is updatable or not. For instance, on PowerPC, the kernel
can update the kdump image only if both the elfcorehdr and FDT are
marked as updatable for the `kexec_load` system call.

So define two generic functions, `crash_hotplug_cpu_support()` and
`crash_hotplug_memory_support()`, which are called when userspace
attempts to read the crash CPU and Memory hotplug support via the sysfs
interface. These functions take the necessary locks needed to access the
`kexec_crash_image` object and then forward it to the
architecture-specific handler to do the rest.
