KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki d0107eb073 kcore: fix vread/vwrite to be aware of holes 
vread/vwrite access vmalloc area without checking there is a page or not.
In most case, this works well.

In old ages, the caller of get_vm_ara() is only IOREMAP and there is no
memory hole within vm_struct's [addr...addr + size - PAGE_SIZE] (
-PAGE_SIZE is for a guard page.)

After per-cpu-alloc patch, it uses get_vm_area() for reserve continuous
virtual address but remap _later_.  There tend to be a hole in valid
vmalloc area in vm_struct lists.  Then, skip the hole (not mapped page) is
necessary.  This patch updates vread/vwrite() for avoiding memory hole.

Routines which access vmalloc area without knowing for which addr is used
are
  - /proc/kcore
  - /dev/kmem

kcore checks IOREMAP, /dev/kmem doesn't.  After this patch, IOREMAP is
checked and /dev/kmem will avoid to read/write it.  Fixes to /proc/kcore
will be in the next patch in series.
