proc/vmcore: fix possible deadlock on concurrent mmap and read

Lockdep noticed that there is chance for a deadlock if we have concurrent
mmap, concurrent read, and the addition/removal of a callback.

As nicely explained by Boqun:
 "Lockdep warned about the above sequences because rw_semaphore is a
  fair read-write lock, and the following can cause a deadlock:

TASK 1 TASK 2 TASK 3
====== ====== ======
down_write(mmap_lock);
down_read(vmcore_cb_rwsem)
down_write(vmcore_cb_rwsem); // blocked
down_read(vmcore_cb_rwsem); // cannot get the lock because of the fairness
down_read(mmap_lock); // blocked

  IOW, a reader can block another read if there is a writer queued by
  the second reader and the lock is fair"

To fix this, convert to srcu to make this deadlock impossible.  We need
srcu as our callbacks can sleep.  With this change, I cannot trigger any
lockdep warnings.
