    [PATCH] Show write byte size in report messages

    Show write byte size in report messages.  This value can be different
    from the size of the actual file because of some holes on dumpfile
    data structure.

      $ makedumpfile --show-stats -l -d 1 vmcore dump.ld1
      ...
      Total pages     : 0x0000000000080000
      Write bytes     : 377686445
      ...
      # ls -l dump.ld1
      -rw------- 1 root root 377691573 Feb  4 16:28 dump.ld1

    Note that this value should not be used with /proc/kcore to determine
    how much disk space is needed for crash dump, because the real memory
    usage when a crash occurs can vary widely.
