After removing /dev/kmem, sanitizing /proc/kcore and handling /dev/mem,
this series tackles the last sane way how a VM could accidentially
access logically unplugged memory managed by a virtio-mem device:
/proc/vmcore

When dumping memory via "makedumpfile", PG_offline pages, used by
virtio-mem to flag logically unplugged memory, are already properly
excluded; however, especially when accessing/copying /proc/vmcore "the
usual way", we can still end up reading logically unplugged memory part
of a virtio-mem device.

Patch #1-#3 are cleanups.  Patch #4 extends the existing
oldmem_pfn_is_ram mechanism.  Patch #5-#7 are virtio-mem refactorings
for patch #8, which implements the virtio-mem logic to query the state
of device blocks.

Patch #8:
 "Although virtio-mem currently supports reading unplugged memory in the
  hypervisor, this will change in the future, indicated to the device
  via a new feature flag. We similarly sanitized /proc/kcore access
  recently.
  [...]
  Distributions that support virtio-mem+kdump have to make sure that the
  virtio_mem module will be part of the kdump kernel or the kdump
  initrd; dracut was recently [2] extended to include virtio-mem in the
  generated initrd. As long as no special kdump kernels are used, this
  will automatically make sure that virtio-mem will be around in the
  kdump initrd and sanitize /proc/vmcore access -- with dracut"

This is the last remaining bit to support
VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE [3] in the Linux implementation of
virtio-mem.

Note: this is best-effort.  We'll never be able to control what runs
inside the second kernel, really, but we also don't have to care: we
only care about sane setups where we don't want our VM getting zapped
once we touch the wrong memory location while dumping.  While we usually
expect sane setups to use "makedumfile", nothing really speaks against
just copying /proc/vmcore, especially in environments where HWpoisioning
isn't typically expected.  Also, we really don't want to put all our
trust completely on the memmap, so sanitizing also makes sense when just
using "makedumpfile".

The callback is only used for the vmcore nowadays.
