Subject: coredump: fix the setting of PF_DUMPCORE
commit 079148b91 ("coredump: factor out the setting of PF_DUMPCORE")
cleaned up the setting of PF_DUMPCORE by removing it from all the
linux_binfmt->core_dump() and moving it to zap_threads().But this ended up
clearing all the previously set flags. This causes issues during core
generation when tsk->flags is checked again (eg. for PF_USED_MATH to dump
floating point registers). Fix this.
