[Crash-utility] [PATCH] Use address_space.__nrpages for RT kernel

The patch mapping_nrpages.patch from RT kernel

    Subject: mm/fs: abstract address_space::nrpages
    
    Currently the tree_lock protects mapping->nrpages, this will not be
    possible much longer. Hence abstract the access to this variable so that
    it can be easily replaced by an atomic_ulong_t.

renames address_space.nrpages to address_space.__nrpages. This patch implements
that renaming for crash if address_space.nrpages is invalid.
