[Patch BUGFIX] kcore: fix its wrong size on x86_64

[Amerigo Wang]

Fix wrong /proc/kcore size on x86_64.

x86_64 uses __va() macro to caculate the virtual address passed to kclist_add()
but decodes it with its own macro kc_vadd_to_offset(). This is wrong.

Also, according to Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt, kc_vaddr_to_offset()
is wrong too.

So just remove them, use the generic macro.

BTW, the man page for /proc/kcore is wrong, its size can be more than
the physical memory size, because it also contains memory area of
vmalloc(), vsyscall etc...
