[PATCH] [makedumpfile] Fix problem with `half' pages

[Bernhard Walle]

We have a system here with following memory map:

/proc/iomem:
4ffe14000-4ffe7ffff : reserved
4ffe80000-4fffb5fff : System RAM
4fffb6000-4ffffffff : reserved

max_pfn = 1310720

In that case, the last page of the "System RAM" is not full in 16K page size
configuration. That leads to an error in makedumpfile when it checks if that's
a zero page. It's because it tries to read the whole page and the read()
fails because it's after the end of the dump file.

That patch fixes this problem.
