[PATCH v8 3/6] vmcore: Introduce remap_oldmem_pfn_range()

For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available
via a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have
introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand.

This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem
areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything besides
of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault handler mmap_vmcore_fault()
is called.

This handler works as follows:

* Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page)
* Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate)
* If yes:
  Return that page
* If no:
  Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page
