fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data
We hit hardened usercopy feature check for kernel text access by reading
kcore file:
usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected from ffffffff8179a01f (<kernel text>) (4065 bytes)
kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:75!
Bypassing this check for kcore by adding bounce buffer for ktext data.
