Subject[git pull] coredump/exit race fix
	Fix for multithreaded coredump playing fast and loose with getting
registers of secondary threads; if a secondary gets caught in the middle
of exit(2), the conditition it will be stopped in for dumper to examine
might be unusual enough for things to go wrong. Quite a few architectures
are fine with that, but some are not. Sat in -next for a while, survives
local beating, fix is fairly obvious...
