coredump: elf_core_dump: skip kernel threads
linux_binfmt->core_dump() runs before the process does exit_aio(), this
means that we can hit the kernel thread which shares the same ->mm.
Afaics, nothing really bad can happen, but perhaps it makes sense to fix
this minor bug.
It is sad we have to iterate over all threads in system and use
GFP_ATOMIC. Hopefully we can kill theses ugly do_each_thread()s, but this
needs some nontrivial changes in mm_struct and do_coredump.
