Subject: [PATCH] kdump: vmcore compilation warning fix

o fs/proc/vmcore.c compilation gives warnings on ppc64. The reason being
that u64 is defined as unsigned long hence u64* is not same as loff_t*
and compiler cribs.

o Changed the parameter type to u64* instead of loff_t* to resolve the
conflict.
