vmcoreinfo: add the array length of "free_list" for filtering free pages

This patch adds the array length of "free_area.free_list" to the vmcoreinfo
data so that makedumpfile (dump filtering command) can exclude all free pages
in linux-2.6.24.

makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages for the
analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, makedumpfile gets the vmcoreinfo
data which has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering.

In 2.6.24-rc1 or later, the free_area.free_list is an array which has one list
for each migrate types instead of a single list. makedumpfile needs the array
length of "free_area.free_list" and the vmcoreinfo data should contain it.
