From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@suse.de>
Subject: Add file size check at the beginning

I had a bug report because of a truncated vmcore file. The error message just
was

crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffff8107f3c3a6c0  type: "cpu_pda
    entry"

which is very unclear for a 'normal' user. This patch adds checking of the file
size according to the ELF header at the beginning so that a clear error message
can be printed.

Please consider adding the patch to crash.
