Currently only stdin is available in the coredump helper process.
If the process opens a file and then issues a printf(),
printf() will write to that opened file instead to a console.

Therefore open /dev/console and create fd 1 and 0 as init/main.c does.
sys_close(0) is only needed if sys_open() succeeds.
Before this patch it was in vain and returned always -EBADF because nobody
opened fd 0.
