coredump: change wait_for_dump_helpers() to use wait_event_interruptible()

wait_for_dump_helpers() calls wake_up/kill_fasync from inside the
wait_event-like loop.  This is not needed and in fact this is not strictly
correct, we can/should do this only once after we change pipe->writers.
We could even check if it becomes zero.

Change this code to use use wait_event_interruptible(), this can also help
to make this wait freezable.

With this patch we check pipe->readers without pipe_lock(), this is fine.
Once we see pipe->readers == 1 we know that the handler decremented the
counter, this is all we need.
