[PATCH v17 2/6] crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support

Commit a72bbec70da2 ("crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()")
introduced a new kexec flag, `KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR`. Kexec tool uses
this flag to indicate to the kernel that it is safe to modify the
elfcorehdr of the kdump image loaded using the kexec_load system call.
However, it is possible that architectures may need to update kexec
segments other then elfcorehdr. For example, FDT (Flatten Device Tree)
on PowerPC. Introducing a new kexec flag for every new kexec segment
may not be a good solution. Hence, a generic kexec flag bit,
`KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT`, is introduced to share the CPU/Memory
hotplug support intent between the kexec tool and the kernel for the
kexec_load system call.
Now, if the kexec tool sends KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT kexec flag to
the kernel, it indicates to the kernel that all the required kexec
segment is skipped from SHA calculation and it is safe to update kdump
image loaded using the kexec_load syscall.
While loading the kdump image using the kexec_load syscall, the
@update_elfcorehdr member of struct kimage is set if the kexec tool
sends the KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR kexec flag. This member is later used
to determine whether it is safe to update elfcorehdr on hotplug events.
However, with the introduction of the KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT kexec
flag, the kexec tool could mark all the required kexec segments on an
architecture as safe to update. So rename the @update_elfcorehdr to
@hotplug_support. If @hotplug_support is set, the kernel can safely
update all the required kexec segments of the kdump image during
CPU/Memory hotplug events.
Introduce an architecture-specific function to process kexec flags for
determining hotplug support. Set the @hotplug_support member of struct
kimage for both kexec_load and kexec_file_load system calls. This
simplifies kernel checks to identify hotplug support for the currently
loaded kdump image by just examining the value of @hotplug_support.
