[PATCH v2 1/2] kdump: vmcore: remove copy_to() and add copy_to_user_or_kernel()

In arch/*/kernel/crash_dump*.c, there exist many similar code
about copy_oldmem_page(), remove copy_to() in fs/proc/vmcore.c
and add copy_to_user_or_kernel() in lib/usercopy.c, then we can
use copy_to_user_or_kernel() to simplify the related code.
