[PATCH 8/8] hwpoison: prevent /dev/kcore from accessing hwpoison pages

[Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>]

Silently fill buffer with zeros when encounter hwpoison pages
(accessing the hwpoison page content is deadly).

This patch does not cover X86_32 - which has a dumb kern_addr_valid().
It is unlikely anyone run a 32bit kernel will care about the hwpoison
feature - its usable memory is limited.
