Subject: Fix KernelTool::extractKernelConfigELF if config not present
References: bsc#941088
Patch-mainline: v0.8.16
Git-commit: dc2a2aad6f3d93b1c7b609e8faf419e0730bdd1a

The begin/end offsets are initialized to 0, but the check is for
negative, so the method does not fail if no config is found.
Instead it tries to allocate negative buffer, throwing an exception
of type std::bad_alloc.
