x86, kdump: fix invalid access on i386 sparsemem
Impact: fix kdump crash on 32-bit sparsemem kernels Since linux-2.6.27, kdump has failed on i386 sparsemem kernel. 1st-kernel gets a panic just before switching to 2nd-kernel. The cause is that a kernel accesses invalid mem_section by page_to_pfn(image->swap_page) at machine_kexec(). image->swap_page is allocated if kexec for hibernation, but it is not allocated if kdump. So if kdump, a kernel should not access the mem_section corresponding to image->swap_page. The attached patch fixes this invalid access.
