This issue was introduced by commit
f3c87e0ab1f62b118e738d046c3d676325770418.
Currently, is_sparsemem_extreme() compares ARRAY_LENGTH(mem_section)
with NOT_FOUND_SYMBOL but correct initial value for array table is
NOT_FOUND_STRUCTURE.
As a result, makedumpfile fails to detect SPARSEMEM EXTREME and so
fails to convert vmcore captured by sadump as follows:
# LANG=C makedumpfile --message-level 31 -f -l -d 31 -x ./vmlinux /dev/sdc vmcore-ld31

The kernel version is not supported.
The makedumpfile operation may be incomplete.

sadump: kdump backup region unused
num of NODEs : 2
Memory type : SPARSEMEM
get_mm_sparsemem: Can't get the address of mem_section.
makedumpfile Failed.
This issue doesn't occur for vmcore captured by kdump because in that
case, the length of mem_section is provided via VMCOREINFO and
is_sparsemem_extreme() returns TRUE via the other path.
This issue occurs also for other mechanisms where we need to use
-x VMLINUX such as virsh dump.
