fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix internal inconsistency relating to vma dump size
vma_dump_size() has been used several times on actual dumper and it is supposed to return the same value for the same vma. But vma_dump_size() could return different values for same vma. The known problem case is concurrent shared memory removal. If a vma is used for a shared memory and that shared memory is removed between writing program header and dumping vma memory, this will result in a dump file which is internally consistent. To fix the problem, we set baseline to get dump size and store the size into vma_filesz and always use the same vma dump size which is stored in vma_filsz. The consistnecy with reality is not actually guranteed, but it's tolerable since that is fully consistent with base line.
