Return the size directly and drop the extra_sz variable to simplify
kdump_extra_elfcorehdr_size(). The two warning paths now fall through
to the existing return 0 at the end of the function.

I don't understand.

Previously, when cmem->nr_ranges >= CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES you 
would return 0. Now you will return something different. For instance if 
cmem->nr_ranges is (CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES + 1) you will return 
(unsigned int)(-1 * sizeof(Elf64_Phdr))
  #endif
  	return 0;
  }
