Subject: [PATCH 3/4] coredump: elf_core_dump: use core_state->dumper list
Kill the nasty rcu_read_lock() + do_each_thread() loop, use the list encoded
in mm->core_state instead, s/GFP_ATOMIC/GFP_KERNEL/.
This patch allows futher cleanups in binfmt_elf.c, in particular we can kill
the parallel info->threads list.
