For some reason several people have been sending bad patches to fix
compiler warnings in vmcore recently.  Here's how it should be done.
Compile-tested only on x86.  As noted in the first patch, s390 should
take this conversion a bit further, but I'm not inclined to do that
work myself.

v2:
 - Removed unnecessary kernel-doc
 - Included uio.h to fix compilation problems
 - Made read_from_oldmem_iter static to avoid compile warnings during the
   conversion
 - Use iov_iter_truncate() (Christoph)

  vmcore: Convert read_from_oldmem() to take an iov_iter
