Subject: [PATCH 3/4] coredump: simplify core_state->nr_threads calculation

Change zap_process() to return int instead of incrementing
mm->core_state->nr_threads directly. Change zap_threads() to set
mm->core_state only on success.

This patch restores the original size of .text, and more importantly now
->nr_threads is used in two places only.
