[PATCH makedumpfile] handle mem_section as either a pointer or an array

Some kernel versions that have been recently shipped have mem_section point to
a pointer to the array, instead of pointing directly to the array. That only
happens on SPARSEMEM_EXTREME configurations.
As dwarf information might not be present that would have allowed us to detect
which type it is, we need to try it either as an array or as the pointer to the
array. Then, we validate all section_mem_map: they must either be present or
null. If any problems are found when traversing it, consider it invalid. Only
one way may be valid. Otherwise, fail.
This has been tested with both types of kernels and succeeded in producing a
compressed dump that could be analyzed with crash 7.2.1.
