Summary

Fix kvm_getloadavg() to work correctly on vmcores for modern kernel
versions. The kernels no longer include the _fscale symbol causing
the kvm_nlist() invocation to fail. The code seemed to already assume
that _fscale could be missing but the early kvm_nlist() result check
has caused the function to fail if any symbol were missing. Modify
it to only treat _averunnable as obligatory, and handle missing
_fscale gracefully.
