[PATCH 5/8] binfmt_elf: remove the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in elf_core_dump

[Christoph Hellwig]

There is no logic in elf_core_dump itself, or in the various arch helpers
called from it which use uaccess routines on kernel pointers, except for
the actual file writes that nicely encapsulated in __kernel_write used by
dump_emit.
