[Makedumpfile PATCH v2] Fix SECTION_MAP_MASK for kernel >= v.13

commit 2d070eab2e82 "mm: consider zone which is not fully populated to
have holes" added a new flag SECTION_IS_ONLINE and therefore
SECTION_MAP_MASK has been changed. We are not able to find correct
mem_map in makedumpfile for kernel version v4.13-rc1 and onward because
of the above kernel change.

This patch fixes the MASK value keeping the code backward compatible

v1->v2: Improved kernel_version comparison to take care of stable kernel
versions as well.
