Subject: vmcore: disable mmap_vmcore() if CONFIG_MMU is not defined
>From Arnd's report of a link-time build error in vmcore.c, it turned out
that mmap_vmcore() work overlooked no-MMU configuraiton.
In the current design, it's impossible to implement mmap_vmcore() for
no-MMU configuration since MMU is essential in order to map physically
non-contiguous objects (ELF header, ELF note segment and memory regions in
the 1st kernel pointed to by PT_LOAD entries) into virtually contiguous
user-space in ELF layout.
Hence, this patch disables mmap_vmcore() if CONFIG_MMU is not defined,
returning -ENOSYS.
Another change is to fix the build error by using vmalloc_user() instead
of calling vzalloc() and find_vm_area() in order, by which we no longer
need to call find_vm_area() in vmcore.c that has no counterpart on non-MMU
configuration.
Also, on no-MMU configuration, because we don't export buffer for ELF note
segment to user-space, we use vzalloc() to allocate the buffer.
Therefore, we use differnet functions to allocate the buffer for ELF note
segment. To avoid code duplication, introduce a helper
alloc_elfnotes_buf().
