[PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note code

The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several
architectures.  This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and
then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code.

The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support
kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.
