efi/unaccepted: do not let /proc/vmcore try to access unaccepted memory

Patch series "Do not try to access unaccepted memory", v2.

Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby
a virtual machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Plug a few gaps where RAM is exposed without checking if it is
unaccepted memory.

This patch (of 2):

Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual
machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not let /proc/vmcore try to access unaccepted memory because it can
cause the guest to fail.

For /proc/vmcore, which is read-only, this means a read or mmap of
unaccepted memory will return zeros.
