Daisuke HATAYAMA 93eb211e6c elf coredump: make offset calculation process and writing process explicit 
By the next patch, elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() will support
extended numbering and so will produce the corefiles with section header
table in a special case.

The problem is the process of writing a file header offset of the section
header table into e_shoff field of the ELF header.  ELF header is
positioned at the beginning of the corefile, while section header at the
end.  So, we need to take which of the following ways:

 1. Seek backward to retry writing operation for ELF header
    after writing process for a whole part

 2. Make offset calculation process and writing process
    totally sequential

The clause 1.  is not always possible: one cannot assume that file system
supports seek function.  Consider the no_llseek case.

Therefore, this patch adopts the clause 2.
