coredump: set_dumpable: fix the theoretical race with itself
set_dumpable() updates MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK in a non-trivial way to ensure
that get_dumpable() can't observe the intermediate state, but this all
can't help if multiple threads call set_dumpable() at the same time.
And in theory commit_creds()->set_dumpable(SUID_DUMP_ROOT) racing with
sys_prctl()->set_dumpable(SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) can result in SUID_DUMP_USER.
Change this code to update both bits atomically via cmpxchg().
Note: this assumes that it is safe to mix bitops and cmpxchg. IOW, if,
say, an architecture implements cmpxchg() using the locking (like
arch/parisc/lib/bitops.c does), then it should use the same locks for
set_bit/etc.
