Currently crash will fail and then exit, if the initialization of
the emergency stacks information fails. In real customer environments,
sometimes, a vmcore may be partially damaged, although such vmcores
are rare. For example:
# ./crash ../3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.ppc64le/vmcore
../3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.ppc64le/vmlinux -s
crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 38 type: "paca->emergency_sp"
#
Lets try to keep loading vmcore if such issues happen, so call
the readmem() with the RETURN_ON_ERROR instead of FAULT_ON_ERROR,
which allows the crash move on.
