vmcore: prevent PT_NOTE p_memsz overflow during header update
Currently, update_note_header_size_elf64() and
update_note_header_size_elf32() will add the size of a PT_NOTE entry to
real_sz even if that causes real_sz to exceeds max_sz. This patch
corrects the while loop logic in those routines to ensure that does not
happen and prints a warning if a PT_NOTE entry is dropped. If zero
PT_NOTE entries are found or this condition is encountered because the
only entry was dropped, a warning is printed and an error is returned.
One possible negative side effect of exceeding the max_sz limit is an
allocation failure in merge_note_headers_elf64() or
merge_note_headers_elf32() which would produce console output such as
the following while booting the crash kernel.
vmalloc: allocation failure: 14076997632 bytes

This type of failure has been seen on a four socket prototype system
with certain memory configurations. Most PT_NOTE sections have a single
entry similar to:
n_namesz = 0x5
n_descsz = 0x150
n_type = 0x1
Occasionally, a second entry is encountered with very large n_namesz and
n_descsz sizes:
n_namesz = 0x80000008
n_descsz = 0x510ae163
n_type = 0x80000008
Not yet sure of the source of these extra entries, they seem bogus, but
they shouldn't cause crash dump to fail.
