Anon and hugetlbfs handle FOLL_DUMP set by get_dump_page() internally to
__get_user_pages().

shmem as opposed has no special FOLL_DUMP handling there so
handle_mm_fault() is invoked without mmap_sem and ends up calling
handle_userfault() that isn't expecting to be invoked without mmap_sem
held.

This makes handle_userfault() fail immediately if invoked through
shmem_vm_ops->fault during coredumping and solves the problem.

The side effect is a BUG_ON with no lock held triggered by the
coredumping process which exits.  Only 4.11 is affected, pre-4.11 anon
memory holes are skipped in __get_user_pages by checking FOLL_DUMP
explicitly against empty pagetables (mm/gup.c:no_page_table()).

It's zero cost as we already had a check for current->flags to prevent
futex to trigger userfaults during exit (PF_EXITING).
