Subject: [PATCH][next] coredump: Remove redundant initialization of variable core_waiters

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The variable core_waiters is being initialized with a value that is never
read, it is being updated later on. The assignment is redundant and can
be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
