kcore: fix vread/vwrite to be aware of holes
vread/vwrite access vmalloc area without checking there is a page or not. In most case, this works well. In old ages, the caller of get_vm_ara() is only IOREMAP and there is no memory hole within vm_struct's [addr...addr + size - PAGE_SIZE] ( -PAGE_SIZE is for a guard page.) After per-cpu-alloc patch, it uses get_vm_area() for reserve continuous virtual address but remap _later_. There tend to be a hole in valid vmalloc area in vm_struct lists. Then, skip the hole (not mapped page) is necessary. This patch updates vread/vwrite() for avoiding memory hole. Routines which access vmalloc area without knowing for which addr is used are - /proc/kcore - /dev/kmem kcore checks IOREMAP, /dev/kmem doesn't. After this patch, IOREMAP is checked and /dev/kmem will avoid to read/write it. Fixes to /proc/kcore will be in the next patch in series.
