Subject: [PATCH v2] crash_core: export vmemmap when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled

In memory_model.h, if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is configed,
kernel will use vmemmap to do the __pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn,
and kernel will not use the "classic sparse" to do the
__pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn.

So export the vmemmap when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is configed.
This makes the user applications (crash, etc) get faster
pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn operations too.
