Subject: [PATCH linux-next] Prevent a coredump with a large vm_map_count from Oopsing

A high setting of max_map_count, and a process core-dumping with
a large enough vm_map_count could result in an NT_FILE note not
being written, and the kernel crashing immediately later because
it has assumed otherwise.

Reproduction of the bug described here:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/30/50

Issue originating in 2aa362c49 (from Oct 4, 2012).

This patch make that section optional in that case.
fill_files_note() should signify the error, and also let the info
struct in elf_core_dump() be zero-initialized so that we can check
for the optionally written note.

Cc'ed original signers.

Cc'ed Al Viro because it is trivially relies on his linux-next
tree changes.
