coredump: prevent double-free on an error path in core dumper
In !CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET case, if elf_note_info_init fails to allocate memory for info->fields, it frees already allocated stuff and returns error to its caller, fill_note_info. Which in turn returns error to its caller, elf_core_dump. Which jumps to cleanup label and calls free_note_info, which will happily try to free all info->fields again. BOOM. This is the fix.
