Argh....  Try this:

fix coredump breakage caused by badly tested "[coredump] don't use __kernel_write() on kmap_local_page()"

Let me count the ways I'd screwed up:

* when emitting a page, handling of gaps in coredump should happen
before fetching the current file position.
* fix for problem that occurs on rather uncommon setups (and hadn't
been observed in the wild) sent very late in the cycle.
* ... with badly insufficient testing, introducing an easily
reproducable breakage.  Without giving it time to soak in -next.
