On architectures like PowerPC the crash notes are available for all
possible CPUs. So let's populate the elfcorehdr for all possible
CPUs having crash notes to avoid updating elfcorehdr during in-kernel
crash update on CPU hotplug events.
The similar technique was used in kexec-tool for kexec_load case.

I did a quick test of this for x86_64 and it works.

Thanks for testing it out.
