kdump: Report actual value of VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO

From: Bernhard Walle

The current implementation reports the structure name as
VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO, e.g.

VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE=init_uts_ns.name.release

That doesn't make sense because it's always the same. Instead, use the
value, e.g.

VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE=2.6.26-rc3

That's also what the 'makedumpfile -g' does.
