[RFC][PATCH 1/2] makedumpfile: Add a new "-p" option to exclude hwpoison page from vmcore

"makedumpfile" has filtering function to exclude some types of pages,
like zero page, free page, user data, etc, without saving the whole dump.

This patch introduce a new "-p" option into "makedumpfile" to
exclude hwpoison page while copying vmcore to dumpfile.
