fs/proc/vmcore.c:mmap_vmcore: skip non-ram pages reported by hypervisors 

We have a special check in read_vmcore() handler to check if the page was
reported as ram or not by the hypervisor (pfn_is_ram()).  However, when
vmcore is read with mmap() no such check is performed.  That can lead to
unpredictable results, e.g.  when running Xen PVHVM guest memcpy() after
mmap() on /proc/vmcore will hang processing HVMMEM_mmio_dm pages creating
enormous load in both DomU and Dom0.

Fix the issue by mapping each non-ram page to the zero page.  Keep direct
path with remap_oldmem_pfn_range() to avoid looping through all pages on
bare metal.

The issue can also be solved by overriding remap_oldmem_pfn_range() in
xen-specific code, as remap_oldmem_pfn_range() was been designed for.
That, however, would involve non-obvious xen code path for all x86 builds
with CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM=y and would prevent all other hypervisor-specific
code on x86 arch from doing the same override.
