[ 19/46] arm64: elf: fix core dumping to match what glibc expects

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

commit 9cf2b72b25f3f6a5a1a46a4f36037e66de52465c upstream.

The kernel's internal definition of ELF_NGREG uses struct pt_regs, which
means that we disagree with userspace on the size of coredumps since
glibc correctly uses the user-visible struct user_pt_regs.

This patch fixes our ELF_NGREG definition to use struct user_pt_regs
and introduces our own ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS to convert between the user
and kernel structure definitions.
