kcore: register vmemmap range

Browse source 
Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> pointed out that vmemmap
range is not included in KCORE_RAM, KCORE_VMALLOC ....

This adds KCORE_VMEMMAP if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is used.  By this, vmemmap
can be readable via /proc/kcore

Because it's not vmalloc area, vread/vwrite cannot be used.  But the range
is static against the memory layout, this patch handles vmemmap area by
the same scheme with physical memory.

This patch assumes SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP range is not in VMALLOC range.  It's
correct now.
