coredump: zap_threads() must skip kernel threads
The main loop in zap_threads() must skip kthreads which may use the same mm. Otherwise we "kill" this thread erroneously (for example, it can not fork or exec after that), and the coredumping task stucks in the TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state forever because of the wrong ->core_waiters count.
