      kdump: Write the correct address of mem_section into vmcoreinfo · 9f15b912

      Depending on configuration mem_section can now be an array or a pointer
      to an array allocated dynamically. In most cases, we can continue to refer
      to it as 'mem_section' regardless of what it is.
      
      But there's one exception: '&mem_section' means "address of the array" if
      mem_section is an array, but if mem_section is a pointer, it would mean
      "address of the pointer".
      
      We've stepped onto this in the kdump code: VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL(mem_section)
      writes down the address of pointer into vmcoreinfo, not the array as we wanted,
      breaking kdump.
      
      Let's introduce VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY() that would handle the
      situation correctly for both cases.
