[S390] zcore: Fix reipl device detection

The reipl device information is passed from the kernel to zfcpdump using a pointer in the lowcore (0xe00) that points to the reipl information Currently if that pointer is not zero, we copy the reipl information. If the pointer is not initialized and points outside the accessible memory, it can happen that the memory copy fails. In that case we currently stop the initialization of zcore which leads to a failing kernel dump. The correct behavior is to disable the reipl after dump and continue with zcore intialization.
