If the above check failed, I would directly return or jump out becuase
one indentation can be reduced.

Because for_each_possible_cpu() is taken in
crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), x86 doesn't need to respond to cpu
hotplug or doesn't do anything with this patchset. This cpu part in
infrastructure is only for the later powerpc usage, right?
