[Patch 3/21] Make vma_dump_size() generic

From: Suzuki K. Poulose
Date: Tue Dec 14 2010 - 05:00:16 EST


vma_dump_size calculates the file size of a vma area in the core file. It
assumes the vma belongs to the "current". Make it generic to work for any task.
This will be reused by application core dump infrastructure.
