Subject: kdump: use is_vmcore_usable() and vmcore_unusable() in reserve_elfcorehdr()
From: Simon Horman <horms@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
After recent changes setting elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX will
cause is_kdump_kernel() to return 0 when it should return 1. Instead use
vmcore_unusable(), which has been added for this purpose.
