[PATCH] arm/crash_dump.c: fix Oops caused by overflow converted from pfn to phys

[ivan lam]

In Cortex-A9 machine, with LPAE feature enabled and physical address space
larger than 4G, Capture kernel will Oops on reading the /proc/vmcore file.

In copy_oldmem_page function, it simply use "pfn << PAGE_SHIFT" to get
the physical address, but this will cause overflow when LPAE enabled and
physical address space is larger than 4G, thus get the result as 0 and
cause Oops.

Fix it to use __pfn_to_phys instead. __pfn_to_phys will first cast the pfn
to type phys_addr_t which is the type u64 when LPAE enabled, and left shifted
by PAGE_SHIFT to get the proper physical address.
