[PATCH] coredump: optimize ->mm users traversal
zap_threads() iterates over all threads to find those ones which share current->mm. All threads in the thread group share the same ->mm, so we can skip entire thread group if it has another ->mm. This patch shifts the killing of thread group into the newly added zap_process() function. This looks as unnecessary complication, but it is used in further patches.
