Linux 5.8 changes

Archlinux,
uname -r == 5.8.5-arch1-1,
had to modify kmem.c a bit to compile.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=9740ca4e95b43b91a4a848694a20d01ba6818f7b
Had to use this instead of trying to access mm->mmap_sem.
Had to #include <linux/vmalloc.h>
Including vmalloc may be needed. But I wouldn't be sure about adding specific code paths for the locking wrappers anymore. This repo is going to be deprecated very soon, and having 5.8 kernel latest support should be a good ending point. Thank you for pointing this out.
On the contrary, mmap_sem is not accessible on 5.8, it would need a separate code path just to support 5.8. Thus, I am choosing not to update it for vmread, it will be, however, updated in memflow-kvm
