The current coredump implementation uses vmalloc area to copy
all the segments. But this might put strain on low memory targets
as the firmware size sometimes is in tens of MBs. The situation
becomes worse if there are multiple remote processors undergoing
recovery at the same time. This patch adds inline coredump
functionality that avoids extra memory usage. This requires
recovery to be halted until data is read by userspace and free
function is called.

Change the segment dump API signature to include size and offset
arguments. Refactor the qcom_q6v5_mss driver to use these
arguments while copying the segment. Doing this lays the ground
work for "inline" coredump functionality being added in the next
patch.

Move all coredump functionality to an individual file. This is
being done so that the current functionality can be extended
in future patchsets.
