fs/proc/kcore: avoid bounce buffer for ktext data

Patch series "convert read_kcore(), vread() to use iterators", v8.

While reviewing Baoquan's recent changes to permit vread() access to
vm_map_ram regions of vmalloc allocations, Willy pointed out [1] that it
would be nice to refactor vread() as a whole, since its only user is
read_kcore() and the existing form of vread() necessitates the use of a
bounce buffer.

This patch series does exactly that, as well as adjusting how we read the
kernel text section to avoid the use of a bounce buffer in this case as
well.

This has been tested against the test case which motivated Baoquan's
changes in the first place [2] which continues to function correctly, as
do the vmalloc self tests.

This patch (of 4):

Commit df04abfd181a ("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data")
introduced the use of a bounce buffer to retrieve kernel text data for
/proc/kcore in order to avoid failures arising from hardened user copies
enabled by CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY in check_kernel_text_object().

We can avoid doing this if instead of copy_to_user() we use
_copy_to_user() which bypasses the hardening check.  This is more
efficient than using a bounce buffer and simplifies the code.

We do so as part an overall effort to eliminate bounce buffer usage in the
function with an eye to converting it an iterator read.
