vmcore: support mmap() on /proc/vmcore

This patch introduces mmap_vmcore().

Don't permit writable nor executable mapping even with mprotect()
because this mmap() is aimed at reading crash dump memory.  Non-writable
mapping is also requirement of remap_pfn_range() when mapping linear
pages on non-consecutive physical pages; see is_cow_mapping().

Set VM_MIXEDMAP flag to remap memory by remap_pfn_range and by
remap_vmalloc_range_pertial at the same time for a single vma.
do_munmap() can correctly clean partially remapped vma with two
functions in abnormal case.  See zap_pte_range(), vm_normal_page() and
their comments for details.

On x86-32 PAE kernels, mmap() supports at most 16TB memory only.  This
limitation comes from the fact that the third argument of
remap_pfn_range(), pfn, is of 32-bit length on x86-32: unsigned long.
