coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumps
Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings. This is desirable because DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very large. Update the coredump_filter documentation in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX coredump flags. Also update the documented default value of coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page. The documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the kernel config. This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF binaries and coredump are enabled.
