[PATCH v6 5/8] vmalloc: introduce remap_vmalloc_range_partial

[HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com>]

We want to allocate ELF note segment buffer on the 2nd kernel in
vmalloc space and remap it to user-space in order to reduce the risk
that memory allocation fails on system with huge number of CPUs and so
with huge ELF note segment that exceeds 11-order block size.

Although there's already remap_vmalloc_range for the purpose of
remapping vmalloc memory to user-space, we need to specify user-space
range via vma. Mmap on /proc/vmcore needs to remap range across
multiple objects, so the interface that requires vma to cover full
range is problematic.

This patch introduces remap_vmalloc_range_partial that receives
user-space range as a pair of base address and size and can be used
for mmap on /proc/vmcore case.

remap_vmalloc_range is rewritten using remap_vmalloc_range_partial.
