fs/proc/kcore: don't read offline sections, logically offline pages and hwpoisoned pages 

Let's avoid reading:

1) Offline memory sections: the content of offline memory sections is
   stale as the memory is effectively unused by the kernel.  On s390x with
   standby memory, offline memory sections (belonging to offline storage
   increments) are not accessible.  With virtio-mem and the hyper-v
   balloon, we can have unavailable memory chunks that should not be
   accessed inside offline memory sections.  Last but not least, offline
   memory sections might contain hwpoisoned pages which we can no longer
   identify because the memmap is stale.

2) PG_offline pages: logically offline pages that are documented as
   "The content of these pages is effectively stale.  Such pages should
   not be touched (read/write/dump/save) except by their owner.".
   Examples include pages inflated in a balloon or unavailble memory
   ranges inside hotplugged memory sections with virtio-mem or the hyper-v
   balloon.

3) PG_hwpoison pages: Reading pages marked as hwpoisoned can be fatal.
   As documented: "Accessing is not safe since it may cause another
   machine check.  Don't touch!"

Introduce is_page_hwpoison(), adding a comment that it is inherently racy
but best we can really do.

Reading /proc/kcore now performs similar checks as when reading
/proc/vmcore for kdump via makedumpfile: problematic pages are exclude.
It's also similar to hibernation code, however, we don't skip hwpoisoned
pages when processing pages in kernel/power/snapshot.c:saveable_page()
yet.

Note 1: we can race against memory offlining code, especially memory going
offline and getting unplugged: however, we will properly tear down the
identity mapping and handle faults gracefully when accessing this memory
from kcore code.

Note 2: we can race against drivers setting PageOffline() and turning
memory inaccessible in the hypervisor.  We'll handle this in a follow-up
patch.
