[2/4] Add nodemask_t's size and NR_FREE_PAGES's value to vmcoreinfo_data.
The dump filetering command 'makedumpfile'(v1.1.6 or before) had assumed
the above values, and it was not good from the reliability viewpoint.
So makedumpfile v1.2.0 came to need these values and I created the patch
to let the kernel output them.

Thanks
