coredump: Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core
Rename coredump_exit_mm to coredump_task_exit and call it from do_exit before PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, and before any cleanup work for a task happens. This ensures that an accurate copy of the process can be captured in the coredump as no cleanup for the process happens before the coredump completes. This also ensures that PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT will not be visited by any thread until the coredump is complete. Add a new flag PF_POSTCOREDUMP so that tasks that have passed through coredump_task_exit can be recognized and ignored in zap_process. Now that all of the coredumping happens before exit_mm remove code to test for a coredump in progress from mm_release. Replace "may_ptrace_stop()" with a simple test of "current->ptrace". The other tests in may_ptrace_stop all concern avoiding stopping during a coredump. These tests are no longer necessary as it is now guaranteed that fatal_signal_pending will be set if the code enters ptrace_stop during a coredump. The code in ptrace_stop is guaranteed not to stop if fatal_signal_pending returns true. Until this change "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" could call ptrace_stop without fatal_signal_pending being true, as signals are dequeued in get_signal before calling do_exit. This is no longer an issue as "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" is no longer reached until after the coredump completes.
