Subject: fs/proc/kcore: drop KCORE_REMAP and KCORE_OTHER

Patch series "fs/proc/kcore: don't read offline sections, logically offline pages and hwpoisoned pages", v3.

Looking for places where the kernel might unconditionally read
PageOffline() pages, I stumbled over /proc/kcore; turns out /proc/kcore
needs some more love to not touch some other pages we really don't want to
read -- i.e., hwpoisoned ones.

Examples for PageOffline() pages are pages inflated in a balloon, memory
unplugged via virtio-mem, and partially-present sections in memory added
by the Hyper-V balloon.

When reading pages inflated in a balloon, we essentially produce
unnecessary load in the hypervisor; holes in partially present sections in
case of Hyper-V are not accessible and already were a problem for
/proc/vmcore, fixed in makedumpfile by detecting PageOffline() pages.  In
the future, virtio-mem might disallow reading unplugged memory -- marked
as PageOffline() -- in some environments, resulting in undefined behavior
when accessed; therefore, I'm trying to identify and rework all these
(corner) cases.

With this series, there is really only access via /dev/mem, /proc/vmcore
and kdb left after I ripped out /dev/kmem.  kdb is an advanced corner-case
use case -- we won't care for now if someone explicitly tries to do nasty
things by reading from/writing to physical addresses we better not touch. 
/dev/mem is a use case we won't support for virtio-mem, at least for now,
so we'll simply disallow mapping any virtio-mem memory via /dev/mem next. 
/proc/vmcore is really only a problem when dumping the old kernel via
something that's not makedumpfile (read: basically never), however, we'll
try sanitizing that as well in the second kernel in the future.

Tested via kcore_dump:

This patch (of 6):

Commit db779ef67ffe ("proc/kcore: Remove unused kclist_add_remap()")
removed the last user of KCORE_REMAP.

Commit 595dd46ebfc1 ("vfs/proc/kcore, x86/mm/kcore: Fix SMAP fault when
dumping vsyscall user page") removed the last user of KCORE_OTHER.

Let's drop both types.  While at it, also drop vaddr in "struct
kcore_list", used by KCORE_REMAP only.
