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.
