vmcoreinfo: make hwerr_data visible for debugging
If the kernel is compiled with LTO, hwerr_data symbol might be lost, and
vmcoreinfo doesn't have it dumped. This is currently seen in some
production kernels with LTO enabled.
Remove the static qualifier from hwerr_data so that the information is
still preserved when the kernel is built with LTO. Making hwerr_data a
global symbol ensures its debug info survives the LTO link process and
appears in kallsyms. Also document it, so it doesn't get removed in
the future as suggested by akpm.
