coredump: Limit what can interrupt coredumps
Olivier Langlois has been struggling with coredumps being incompletely written in processes using io_uring.

Now that signal_pending includes wake ups for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL this hack in dump_emitted by the coredump code no longer works. Make the coredump code...
