Make Real Memory Copy area size and mask explicit.
This does not bring any functional change and only
needed for clarity.

Move Real Memory Copy Area allocation to the decompressor.
As result, memcpy_real() and memcpy_real_iter() movers
become usable since the very moment the kernel starts.

Uninline copy_oldmem_kernel() function and make it consistent
with a very similar memcpy_real() implementation, by moving
to code to crash_dump.c, where it actually belongs.

Function memcpy_real() is an univeral data mover that does not
require DAT mode to be able reading from a physical address.
Its advantage is an ability to read from any address, even
those for which no kernel virtual mapping exists.
Although memcpy_real() is interrupt-safe, there are no handlers
that make use of this function. The compiler instrumentation
have to be disabled and separate no-DAT stack used to allow
execution of the function once DAT mode is disabled.
Rework memcpy_real() to overcome these shortcomings. As result,
data copying (which is primarily reading out a crashed system
memory by a user process) is executed on a regular stack with
enabled interrupts. Also, use of memcpy_real_buf swap buffer
becomes unnecessary and the swapping is eliminated.
The above is achieved by using a fixed virtual address range
that spans a single page and remaps that page repeatedly when
memcpy_real() is called for a particular physical address.
