[merged] coredump-let-dump_emit-bail-out-on-short-writes.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: coredump: let dump_emit() bail out on short writes
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     coredump-let-dump_emit-bail-out-on-short-writes.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: coredump: let dump_emit() bail out on short writes

dump_emit() has a retry loop, but there seems to be no way for that retry
logic to actually be used; and it was also buggy, writing the same data
repeatedly after a short write.

Let's just bail out on a short write.
