the function can be used by write_elf32_notes/write_elf64_notes to write notes
to a buffer. If fd_write_vmcore is used, write_elf32_notes/write_elf64_notes
will write elf notes to vmcore directly. Instead, if buf_write_note is used,
elf notes will be written to opaque->note_buf at first.

"const void *buf" would have been more "elegant".

Giving type "uint8_t" to "*note_buf" would have been preferable.
Addition to a pointer-to-void is a constraint violation in standard C
("... operand shall be a pointer to an object type ..."), ie. it's a gcc
extension here, but I guess we can live with it.

Using s->note_size as limit seems correct.
