Current code assumes all PT_NOTE headers are placed at the beginning
of program header table and they are consequtive. But the assumption
could be broken by future changes on either kexec-tools or the 1st
kernel. This patch removes the assumption and rearranges program
headers as the following conditions are satisfied:
- PT_NOTE entry is unique at the first entry,
- the order of program headers are unchanged during this
rearrangement, only their positions are changed in positive
direction.
- unused part that occurs in the bottom of program headers are filled
with 0.
Also, this patch adds one exceptional case where the number of PT_NOTE
entries is somehow 0. Then, immediately go out of the function.
