[PATCH v4 1/5] binfmt_elf_fdpic: Stop using dump_emit() on user pointers on !MMU

[Jann Horn]

dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory.
Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS,
even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given
that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if
we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block.

One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use
__get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the
latter doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked()
will just call __get_user_pages() for us.
