s390/mm: define Real Memory Copy size and mask macros

Make Real Memory Copy area size and mask explicit.
This does not bring any functional change and only
needed for clarity.

s390/mm: allocate Real Memory Copy Area in decompressor

Move Real Memory Copy Area allocation to the decompressor.
As result, memcpy_real() and memcpy_real_iter() movers
become usable since the very moment the kernel starts.

s390/mm: uninline copy_oldmem_kernel() function

Uninline copy_oldmem_kernel() function and make it consistent
with a very similar memcpy_real() implementation, by moving
to code to crash_dump.c, where it actually belongs.

s390/mm: rework memcpy_real() to avoid DAT-off mode

Function memcpy_real() is an univeral data mover that does not
require DAT mode to be able reading from a physical address.
Its advantage is an ability to read from any address, even
those for which no kernel virtual mapping exists.

Although memcpy_real() is interrupt-safe, there are no handlers
that make use of this function. The compiler instrumentation
have to be disabled and separate no-DAT stack used to allow
execution of the function once DAT mode is disabled.

Rework memcpy_real() to overcome these shortcomings. As result,
data copying (which is primarily reading out a crashed system
memory by a user process) is executed on a regular stack with
enabled interrupts. Also, use of memcpy_real_buf swap buffer
becomes unnecessary and the swapping is eliminated.

The above is achieved by using a fixed virtual address range
that spans a single page and remaps that page repeatedly when
memcpy_real() is called for a particular physical address.
