Subject: [PATCH] fs: fix for core dumping of a process getting oom-killed
Processes inside a memcg that get core dumped when there is less memory
available in the memcg can have the core dumping interrupted by the
oom-killer.
We saw this with qemu processes inside a memcg, as in this trace below.
The memcg was not out of memory when the core dump was triggered.

gfp_mask=0x101c4a(GFP_NOFS|__GFP_HIGHMEM|__GFP_HARDWALL|__GFP_MOVABLE|__GFP_WRITE),

This change adds an fsync only for regular file core dumps based on a
configurable limit core_sync_bytes placed alongside other core dump
params and defaults the limit to (an arbitrary value) of 128KB.
Setting core_sync_bytes to zero disables the sync.
