Subject: proc/kcore: fix invalid memory access in multi-page read optimization
The 'm' kcore_list item can point to kclist_head, and it is incorrect to
look at m->addr / m->size in this case.
There is no choice but to run through the list of entries for every
address if we did not find any entry in the previous iteration
