scripts/gdb/symbols: factor out get_vmlinux()
Patch series "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during
early boot".
I noticed that debugging s390 early boot using the support I introduced in
commit 28939c3e9925 ("scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on
s390") does not work.
The reason is that decompressor does not provide the vmcoreinfo note, so
KASLR offset needs to be extracted in a different way, which this series
implements. Patches 1-2 are trivial refactorings, and patch 3 is the
implementation.
This patch (of 3):
Move the code that determines the current vmlinux file into a separate
function. It will be useful later in order to analyze the kernel image in
physical memory during s390 early boot.
