kho: add support for preserving vmalloc allocations

Browse source

A vmalloc allocation is preserved using binary structure similar to global
KHO memory tracker.  It's a linked list of pages where each page is an
array of physical address of pages in vmalloc area.

kho_preserve_vmalloc() hands out the physical address of the head page to
the caller.  This address is used as the argument to kho_vmalloc_restore()
to restore the mapping in the vmalloc address space and populate it with
the preserved pages.
