v3 cover fix RLIMIT_CORE accounting for sparse dumps

From: Omar Sandoval <[email protected]>

Al, could you please apply this series for v4.7? I first sent it out during the v4.5 cycle, it'd be great to be done with it, especially since it's fixing a regression.

Here's the cover letter from v1:

PATCH RESEND v3 1/2 coredump: get rid of coredump_params->written

From: Omar Sandoval <[email protected]>

cprm->written is redundant with cprm->file->f_pos, so use that instead.

PATCH RESEND v3 2/2 coredump: only charge written data against RLIMIT_CORE

In reply to Omar Sandoval

From: Omar Sandoval <[email protected]>

Commit 9b56d54380ad ("dump_skip(): dump_seek() replacement taking coredump_params") introduced a regression with regard to RLIMIT_CORE. Previously, when a core dump was sparse, only the data that was actually written out would count against the limit. Now, the sparse ranges are also included, which leads to truncated core dumps when the actual disk usage is still well below the limit. Restore the old behavior by only counting what gets emitted and ignoring what gets skipped.
