[coredump] don't use __kernel_write() on kmap_local_page()

Browse source

passing kmap_local_page() result to __kernel_write() is unsafe -
random ->write_iter() might (and 9p one does) get unhappy when
passed ITER_KVEC with pointer that came from kmap_local_page().

Fix by providing a variant of __kernel_write() that takes an iov_iter
from caller (__kernel_write() becomes a trivial wrapper) and adding
dump_emit_page() that parallels dump_emit(), except that instead of
__kernel_write() it uses __kernel_write_iter() with ITER_BVEC source.
