vmcoreinfo: warn if we exceed vmcoreinfo data size
Though vmcoreinfo is intended to be small, at just one page, useful information is still added to it, so we risk running out of space. Currently there is no runtime check to see whether the vmcoreinfo buffer has been exhausted. Add a warning for this case. Currently, my static checking tool[1] indicates that a good upper bound for vmcoreinfo size is currently 3415 bytes, but the best time to add warnings is before the risk becomes too high.
