[PATCH 6/7] 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 file writes thate are nicely encapsulated by using __kernel_write in
dump_emit.
