Subject: coredump: move dump_write() and dump_seek() into a header file
From: Daisuke HATAYAMA <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com>

My next patch will replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions, putting
them into other newly created *.c files.  Then, each files will contain
dump_write(), where each pair of binfmt_*.c and elfcore.c should be the
same.  So, this patch moves them into a header file with dump_seek(). 
Also, the patch deletes confusing DUMP_WRITE macros in each files.
