[PATCH 1/2] makedumpfile: Fix zero checking of get_mm_sparsemem()

Currently zero entries in the "mem_section" array and the section arrays
from the "mem_section" entries are not checked correctly. The problem
especially hits the s390x architecture because there the is_kvaddr()
function returns true for the first memory page.

So add missing zero checks and set "mem_map" to NOT_MEMMAP_ADDR for
all found zero entries.
