[PATCH] disable kaslr in kdump kernel

[Dave Young]

KASLR does not work in kdump kernel because it's too early that mem=exactmap
has not been parsed.

Since KASLR does not make much sense for kdump kernel thus let's disable it
for kdump kernel. To check if it is a kdump kernel I just check the cmdline
param elfcorehdr just like is_kdump_kernel.
