[Crash-utility] [PATCH v2] Fix crash load failure in ppc64
Crash tool will fail to load vmcore with the following error:
#crash vmlinux /var/crash/127.0.0.1-2023-06-07-22\:03\:24/vmcore -s
crash: invalid structure size: note_buf
FILE: diskdump.c LINE: 121 FUNCTION: have_crash_notes()
[./crash] error trace: 101859ac => 10291798 => 10291450 => 10266038
10266038: SIZE_verify+156
10291450: have_crash_notes+308
10291798: map_cpus_to_prstatus_kdump_cmprs+448
101859ac: task_init+11980
The reason is that the note_buf is not intialized before using the
SIZE(note_buf) in the have_crash_notes(). Let's initialize the variable
note_buf in the task_init() to fix this issue.
Fixes: db8c030857b4 ("diskdump/netdump: fix segmentation fault caused by failure of
stopping CPUs")
