introduction of regset ->get() wrappers, switching ELF coredumps to those
Two new helpers: given a process and regset, dump into a buffer. regset_get() takes a buffer and size, regset_get_alloc() takes size and allocates a buffer. Return value in both cases is the amount of data actually dumped in case of success or -E... on error. In both cases the size is capped by regset->n * regset->size, so ->get() is called with offset 0 and size no more than what regset expects. binfmt_elf.c callers of ->get() are switched to using those; the other caller (copy_regset_to_user()) will need some preparations to switch.
