    x86/ELF: don't store function pointer in elf_core_save_regs()
    
    This keeps at least gcc 10 from generating a separate function instance
    in common/kexec.o alongside the inlining of the function in its sole
    caller. I also think putting the address of the actual code storing the
    registers is a better indication to consumers than that of an otherwise
    unreferenced function.
