binfmt_elf, coredump: Log the reason of the failed core dumps
Missing, failed, or corrupted core dumps might impede crash investigations. To improve reliability of that process and consequently the programs themselves, one needs to trace the path from producing a core dumpfile to analyzing it. That path starts from the core dump file written to the disk by the kernel or to the standard input of a user mode helper program to which the kernel streams the coredump contents. There are cases where the kernel will interrupt writing the core out or produce a truncated/not-well-formed core dump without leaving a note. Add logging for the core dump collection failure paths to be able to reason what has gone wrong when the core dump is malformed or missing. Report the size of the data written to aid in diagnosing the user mode helper.
