[PATCH 3/3] coredump: sanitize the setting of signal->group_exit_code

[Oleg Nesterov]

Now that the coredumping process can be SIGKILL'ed, the setting of
->group_exit_code in do_coredump() can race with complete_signal()
and SIGKILL or 0x80 can be "lost", or wait(status) can report
status == SIGKILL | 0x80.

But the main problem is that it is not clear to me what should we
do if binfmt->core_dump() succeeds but SIGKILL was sent, that is
why this patch comes as a separate change.

This patch adds 0x80 if ->core_dump() succeeds and the process was
not killed. But perhaps we can (should?) re-set ->group_exit_code
changed by SIGKILL back to "siginfo->si_signo |= 0x80" in case when
core_dumped == T.
