In crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), the for_each_present_cpu() is utilized to create the new elfcorehdr. When handling CPU hot unplug/offline events, the CPU is still on the for_each_present_cpu() list (not until the cpuhp state processing reaches CPUHP_OFFLINE does the CPU exit the list). Thus the CPU must be explicitly excluded when building the new list of CPUs. This change identifies in handle_hotplug_event() the CPU to be excluded, and the check for excluding the CPU in crash_prepare_elf64_headers().
