Subject: [PATCH] coredump: plug a memory leak situation on dump_seek()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After having started writing the coredump, if filesystem reports an error
anytime while writing part of the core file, we would leak a memory page
when bailing out.
