x86: crash_dump: Fix non-pae kdump kernel memory accesses
Non-PAE 32-bit dump kernels may wrap an address around 4G and poke unwanted space. ptes there are 32-bit long, and since pfn << PAGE_SIZE may exceed this limit, high pfn bits are cropped and wrong address mapped by kmap_atomic_pfn in copy_oldmem_page. Don't allow this behavior in non-PAE kdump kernels by checking pfns passed into copy_oldmem_page. In the case of failure, userspace process gets EFAULT.
