vmcore: remove dependency with is_kdump_kernel() for exporting vmcore
Currently, is_kdump_kernel() returns true when elfcorehdr_addr is set.
While elfcorehdr_addr is set for kexec based kernel dump mechanism,
alternate dump capturing methods like fadump [1] also set it to export
the vmcore. Since, is_kdump_kernel() is used to restrict resources in
crash dump capture kernel and such restrictions may not be desirable
for fadump, allow is_kdump_kernel() to be defined differently for such
scenarios. With this, is_kdump_kernel() could be false while vmcore is
usable. So, remove unnecessary dependency with is_kdump_kernel(), for
exporting vmcore.
