fs/proc/kcore.c: allow translation of physical memory addresses
When /proc/kcore is read an attempt to read the first two pages results in
HW-specific page swap on s390 and another (so called prefix) pages are
accessed instead. That leads to a wrong read.
Allow architecture-specific translation of memory addresses using
kc_xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and kc_unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks similarily
to /dev/mem xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks. That
way an architecture can deal with specific physical memory ranges.
Re-use the existing /dev/mem callback implementation on s390, which
handles the described prefix pages swapping correctly.
For other architectures the default callback is basically NOP. It is
expected the condition (vaddr == __va(__pa(vaddr))) always holds true for
KCORE_RAM memory type.
