David Hildenbrand 82a0fcb1ad s390/kdump: Provide is_kdump_kernel() implementation
s390 sets "elfcorehdr_addr = ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX;" early during
setup_arch() to deactivate the "elfcorehdr= kernel" parameter,
resulting in is_kdump_kernel() returning "false".

During vmcore_init()->elfcorehdr_alloc(), if on a dump kernel and
allocation succeeded, elfcorehdr_addr will be set to a valid address
and is_kdump_kernel() will consequently return "true".

is_kdump_kernel() should return a consistent result during all boot
stages, and properly return "true" if in a kdump environment - just
like it is done on powerpc where "false" is indicated in fadump
environments, as added in commit b098f1c323 ("powerpc/fadump: make
is_kdump_kernel() return false when fadump is active").

Similarly provide a custom is_kdump_kernel() implementation that will only
return "true" in kdump environments, and will do so consistently during
boot.

Update the documentation of dump_available().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
