When threads are sharing mm via CLONE_VM (linuxthreads, vfork), there is a race condition where one thread doing a core dump and synchronizing all mm-sharing threads for it can deadlock waiting for another thread that just did an exec and will never synchronize. This patch makes the exec_mmap check for a pending core dump and punt the exec to synchronize with that, as if the core dump had struck before entering the execve system call at all.
