vmcore cant be generated under kernel 4.7.9

[ulxwork@xxxxxxxxx (R Sun)]

Hello,

I updated my fedora23 from 4.5.7-202 to 4.7.9-100 recently, and found out kdump
could not generate vmcore when crashed, but its ok with
vmcore-dmesg.txt. i traced
it for a while and find out its because of a change in the page struct
which _count renamed to _refcount committed as 0139aa7b7f in kernel.

Below is my patch to fix this problem
