[Crash-utility] [PATCH] fix read size in xendump.c

Hi.
Recently I twisted the xen xm dump-core format so that the section
order was changed for optimization.
Although it shouldn't affect analysis tools, it revealed a bug.
The crash utility tries to read the file beyond EOF.
So far it wasn't issue because of section ordering.
This patch fixes it by calculating read size correctly

Dave, 
Although I don't think that it causes serious issues,
Could you check whether the minor update of the format affects
the crash utility?
