[RFC PATCH 02/14] fs/proc/vmcore: Update copy_oldmem_page_encrypted() for user buffer

The exported interface copy_oldmem_page_encrypted() passes user pointer
without __user annotation and does unnecessary user/kernel pointer
conversions during the pointer propagation.

Hence it is modified to have a new parameter for user pointer. The
other similar interface copy_oldmem_page() will be updated in the
subsequent patches.

x86_64 crash dump is also modified to use this modified interface.

No functionality change intended.
