In kdump kernel, /proc/vmcore is an elf file mapping the crashed kernel's old memory content. Its elf header is constructed in 1st kernel and passed to kdump kernel via elfcorehdr_addr. Config CRASH_DUMP enables the code of 1st kernel's old memory accessing in different architectures. Currently, config FA_DUMP has dependency on CRASH_DUMP because fadump needs access global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' to judge if it's in kdump kernel within function is_kdump_kernel(). In the current kernel/crash_dump.c, variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' is defined, and function setup_elfcorehdr() used to parse kernel parameter to fetch the passed value of elfcorehdr_addr. Only for accessing elfcorehdr_addr, FA_DUMP really doesn't have to depends on CRASH_DUMP. To remove the dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP to avoid confusion, rename kernel/crash_dump.c to kernel/elfcorehdr.c, and build it when CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is ebabled. With this, FA_DUMP doesn't need to depend on CRASH_DUMP.
