coredump: format_corename: fix the "core_uses_pid" logic
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I don't understand why the multi-thread coredump implies the core_uses_pid
behaviour, but we shouldn't use mm->mm_users for that.  This counter can
be incremented by get_task_mm().  Use the valued returned by
coredump_wait() instead.

Also, remove the "const char *pattern" argument, format_corename() can use
core_pattern directly.
