Subject: [PATCH] not adding modules range to kcore if it's equal to vmcore range

On some ARCHs modules range is eauql to vmalloc range. E.g on i686

This will cause 2 duplicate program segments in /proc/kcore, makes
user confused. In this patch a judgment added to check if modules
range is equal to vmalloc range. If yes, just skip adding the modules
range.
