[PATCH 2/2] [PATCH 2/2] proc-vmcore: wrong data type casting fix

On i686 PAE enabled machine the contiguous physical area could be large
and it can cause triming down variables in below calculation in
read_vmcore() and mmap_vmcore():

	tsz = min_t(size_t, m->offset + m->size - *fpos, buflen);

Then the real size passed down is not correct any more.
Suppose m->offset + m->size - *fpos being truncated to 0, buflen >0 then
we will get tsz = 0. It is of course not an expected result.

During out test there are two problems caused by it:
1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails.
2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range().

Use min_lt instead so that the variables are not truncated.
