By the next patch, elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() will
support extended numbering and so will possibly produce the corefiles
with section header table.
The problem is the process of writing a file header offset of the
section header table into e_shoff field of the ELF header. ELF header
is positioned at the beginning of the corefile, while section header
at the end. So, there are two ways to do this:
1. Seek backward to retry writing operation for ELF header
after writing process for a whole part
2. Make offset calculation process and writing process
totally sequential
The clause 1. is not always possible: one cannot assume that file
system supports seek function. Consider the no_llseek case.
Therefore, this patch adopts the clause 2.
