mm: Make mem_dump_obj() handle vmalloc() memory
This commit adds vmalloc() support to mem_dump_obj(). Note that the vmalloc_dump_obj() function combines the checking and dumping, in contrast with the split between kmem_valid_obj() and kmem_dump_obj(). The reason for the difference is that the checking in the vmalloc() case involves acquiring a global lock, and redundant acquisitions of global locks should be avoided, even on not-so-fast paths. Note that this change causes on-stack variables to be reported as vmalloc() storage from kernel_clone() or similar, depending on the degree of inlining that your compiler does. This is likely more helpful than the earlier "non-paged (local) memory".
