David Oberhollenzer dbd9d6f8fa fs/coredump.c: log if a core dump is aborted due to changed file permissions
For obvious security reasons, a core dump is aborted if the filesystem
cannot preserve ownership or permissions of the dump file.

This affects filesystems like e.g.  vfat, but also something like a 9pfs
share in a Qemu test setup, running as a regular user, depending on the
security model used.  In those cases, the result is an empty core file and
a confused user.

To hopefully save other people a lot of time figuring out the cause, this
patch adds a simple log message for those specific cases.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
