coredump: format_corename() can leak cn->corename
do_coredump() assumes that format_corename() can only fail if expand_corename() fails and frees cn->corename. This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can fail and in this case nobody frees cn->corename. Change do_coredump() to always do kfree(cn->corename) after it calls format_corename() (NULL is fine), change expand_corename() to do nothing if kmalloc() fails.
