[PATCH V2 1/2] efi/unaccepted: Do not let /proc/vmcore try to access unaccepted memory

Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit dcdfdd40fa82
("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual machine may
need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not let /proc/vmcore try to access unaccepted memory because it can
cause the guest to fail.

For /proc/vmcore, which is read-only, this means a read or mmap of
unaccepted memory will return zeros.
