Allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size aligned boudary to satisfy mmap() requirement. For this, __get_free_pages() is used instead of kmalloc().
Also, later patch will decrease actually used buffer size for ELF headers, so it's necessary to keep original buffer size and actually used buffer size separately. elfcorebuf_sz_orig keeps the original one and elfcorebuf_sz the actually used one.
