[PATCH v4 3/8] vmcore,procfs: introduce MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL flag to distinguish objectscopied in 2nd kernel

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Later patch will copy ELF note segments in buffer on the 2nd
kernel. To handle memory on the 1st kernel (old memory) and memory on
the 2nd kernel in vmcore_list uniformly, introduce
MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL flag. If this flag is set, the vmcore object
corresponds to buffer on the 2nd kernel.
