From: Atsushi Kumagai <ats-kumagai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kexec: update VMCOREINFO for compound_order/dtor

makedumpfile refers page.lru.next to get the order of compound pages for
page filtering.  However, now the order is stored in page.compound_order,
hence VMCOREINFO should be updated to export the offset of
page.compound_order.

The fact is, page.compound_order was introduced already in kernel 4.0, but
the offset of it was the same as page.lru.next until kernel 4.3, so this
was not actual problem.

The above can be said also for page.lru.prev and page.compound_dtor, it's
necessary to detect hugetlbfs pages.  Further, the content was changed
from direct address to the ID which means dtor.
