kexec: update VMCOREINFO for compound_order/dtor
makedumpfile refers page.lru.next to get the order of compound pages for page filtering. However, now the order is stored in page.compound_order, hence VMCOREINFO should be updated to export the offset of page.compound_order. The fact is, page.compound_order was introduced already in kernel 4.0, but the offset of it was the same as page.lru.next until kernel 4.3, so this was not actual problem. The above can be said also for page.lru.prev and page.compound_dtor, it's necessary to detect hugetlbfs pages. Further, the content was changed from direct address to the ID which means dtor. The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump file in kernels 4.4.x and later. This means that extra disk space would be consumed. It's a problem, but not critical.
