fix coredump breakage
Let me count the ways in which I'd screwed up:
* when emitting a page, handling of gaps in coredump should happen
before fetching the current file position.
* fix for a problem that occurs on rather uncommon setups (and hadn't
been observed in the wild) had been sent very late in the cycle.
* ... with badly insufficient testing, introducing an easily
reproducible breakage. Without giving it time to soak in -next.

Fixes the issue.
This issue does not only affect vDSO vma's as the original test case was suggesting, but seems to completely breaks coredump debugging in gdb. Probably worth a respin as this is a very user visible issue.
