get_pt_note_info() always ignores VMCOREINFO_XEN note because
buf size must be smaller than note size including \0 char.
Usualy this condition is true but when VMCOREINFO_XEN note
is encountered it does not work due to buf size defined
as sizeof("VMCOREINFO_XEN"). This patch fixes that bug
and VMCOREINFO_XEN note living in /proc/vmcore file
could be properly detected now.
v2 - suggestions/fixes:
- properly check buf size instead of increasing buf size
(suggested by Andrew Cooper).
