The patch titled
     Subject: coredump: fix core_pattern parse error
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     coredump-fix-core_pattern-parse-error.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Menglong Dong <dong.menglong@zte.com.cn>
Subject: coredump: fix core_pattern parse error

'format_corename()' will splite 'core_pattern' on spaces when it is in
pipe mode, and take helper_argv[0] as the path to usermode executable.

It works fine in most cases. However, if there is a space between
'|' and '/file/path', such as
'| /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g',
helper_argv[0] will be parsed as '', and users will get a
'Core dump to | disabled'.

It is not friendly to users, as the pattern above was valid previously. 
Fix this by ignoring the spaces between '|' and '/file/path'.
