coredump: move mm->core_waiters into struct core_state
Move mm->core_waiters into "struct core_state" allocated on stack. This
shrinks mm_struct a little bit and allows further changes.
This patch mostly does s/core_waiters/core_state. The only essential
change is that coredump_wait() must clear mm->core_state before return.
The coredump_wait()'s path is uglified and .text grows by 30 bytes, this
is fixed by the next patch.
