[RFC PATCH] fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix inconsistent vma dump size

From: Jungseung Lee
Date: Sat Nov 22 2014 - 14:16:59 EST


vma_dump_size() has been used several times on actual dumper
and it is supposed to be same values for same vma.
But vma_dump_size() could be different, while coredump is procceeded.
(e.g. remove shared memory)

In that case, header info and vma size could be inconsistent
and it cause wrong coredump file creation.

Fix the problem by always using the same vma dump size
which is stored in vma_filsz.
