    vmcoreinfo: rename vmcoreinfo's macros returning the size
    
    This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data.
    
    The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
    filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
    unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
    
    This patch:
    
    VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always
    returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow
    VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not
    be used exclusively for typedefs.
