[RFC PATCH 04/14] x86/crash_dump_64: Use the new interface copy_oldmem_page_buf

The current interface copy_oldmem_page() passes user pointer without
__user annotation and hence does unnecessary user/kernel pointer
conversions during its implementation.

Implement the interface copy_oldmem_page_buf() to avoid this issue.
