Subject: binfmt_elf_fdpic: remove the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in elf_fdpic_core_dump
There is no logic in elf_fdpic_core_dump itself or in the various arch
helpers called from it which use uaccess routines on kernel pointers
except for the file writes thate are nicely encapsulated by using
__kernel_write in dump_emit.
