Subject[PATCH] coredump: prevent double-free on an error path in core dumper
Date
In !CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET case, if elf_note_info_init fails to allocate memory
for info->fields, it frees already allocated stuff and returns
error to its caller, fill_note_info. Which in turn returns
error to its caller, elf_core_dump. Which jumps to cleanup
label and calls free_note_info, which will happily try to
free all info->fields again. BOOM.

This is the fix.
