[PATCH] Kcore elf note namesz field fix

o As per ELF specifications, it looks like that elf note "namesz" field
  contains the length of "name" including the size of null character.  And
  currently we are filling "namesz" without taking into the consideration
  the null character size.

o Kexec-tools performs this check deligently hence I ran into the issue
  while trying to open /proc/kcore in kexec-tools for some info.
