xen pv-on-hvm: add pfn_is_ram helper for kdump

Register pfn_is_ram helper speed up reading /proc/vmcore in the kdump
kernel. See commit message of 997c136f ("fs/proc/vmcore.c: add hook
to read_from_oldmem() to check for non-ram pages") for details.

It makes use of a new hvmop HVMOP_get_mem_type which was introduced in
xen 4.2 (23298:26413986e6e0) and backported to 4.1.1.

The new function is currently only enabled for reading /proc/vmcore.
Later it will be used also for the kexec kernel. Since that requires
more changes in the generic kernel make it static for the time being.

/*
* This function is used in two contexts:
* - the kdump kernel has to check whether a pfn of the crashed kernel
* was a ballooned page. vmcore is using this function to decide
* whether to access a pfn of the crashed kernel.
* - the kexec kernel has to check whether a pfn was ballooned by the
* previous kernel. If the pfn is ballooned, handle it properly.
* Returns 0 if the pfn is not backed by a RAM page, the caller may
* handle the pfn special in this case.
