[PATCH v8 7/9] vmcore: Allow user process to remap ELF note segmentbuffer

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Now ELF note segment has been copied in the buffer on vmalloc
memory. To allow user process to remap the ELF note segment buffer
with remap_vmalloc_page, the corresponding VM area object has to have
VM_USERMAP flag set.
