These defines are not related to /proc/kcore, move them to crash_dump.h

Agree it's inappropriate to put the defintions in kcore.h. However for
'struct vmcore', it's only used in fs/proc/vmcore.c from my code
serching, do you think if we can put it in fs/proc/vmcore.c directly?
And 'struct vmcoredd_node' too.
And about the renaming, with my understanding each instance of struct
vmcore represents one memory region, isn't it a little confusing to be
called vmcore_mem_node? I understand you probablly want to unify the
vmcore and vmcoredd's naming. I have to admit I don't know vmcoredd well
and its naming, while most of people have been knowing vmcore representing
memory region very well.
