[S390] Remove error checking from copy_oldmem_page()
Currently it can happen that the pre-allocated ELF header contains a wrong memory map which would result in errors when copying /proc/vmcore. In order to still get a valid vmcore, we (temporarily) disable the error checking in copy_oldmem_page(). This will then produce zero pages for those memory regions.
