/proc/kcore: fix stat.st_size

Presently the size of /proc/kcore which can be read by 'ls -l' is 0.  But
it's not the correct value.

On x86-64, ls -l shows
 ... root root 140737486266368 2009-09-17 10:29 /proc/kcore
Then, 7FFFFFFE02000. This comes from vmalloc area's size.
(*) This shows "core" size, not  memory size.

This patch shows the size by updating "size" field in struct
proc_dir_entry.  Later, lookup routine will create inode and fill
inode->i_size based on this value.  Then, this has a problem.

 - Once inode is cached, inode->i_size will never be updated.

Then, this patch is not memory-hotplug-aware.

To update inode->i_size, we have to know dentry or inode.
But there is no way to lookup them by inside kernel. Hmmm....
Next patch will try it.
