Subject: [PATCH] coredump: format_corename: fix the "core_uses_pid" logic

I don't understand why the multi-thread coredump implies the core_uses_pid
behaviour, but we shouldn't use mm->mm_users for that. This counter can be
incremented by get_task_mm(). Use the valued returned by coredump_wait()
instead.

Also, remove the "const char *pattern" argument, format_corename() can use
core_pattern directly.
