crash_dump: Make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules
In order to make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules, need to make elfcorehdr_addr exported. This was rejected in the past [1] because reset_devices was prefered in that context (reseting the device in kdump kernel), but now there are some network drivers that need to reduce memory usage when loaded from a kdump kernel. And in that context, is_kdump_kernel() suits better.
