kexec: add dmesg log symbols to /proc/vmcoreinfo lists
It would be nice to be able to extract the dmesg log from a vmcore file without needing to keep the debug symbols for the running kernel handy all the time. We have a facility to do this in /proc/vmcore. This patch adds the log_buf and log_end symbols to the vmcoreinfo area so that tools (like makedumpfile) can easily extract the dmesg logs from a vmcore image.
