coredump: refuse negative skips
The dump_skip_to() helper calculates a relative skip based on the absolute positon of the coredump: cprm->to_skip = pos - cprm->pos; That's easy to mess up for callers and one already did. This risk endless zero PAGE_SIZE loops or overwriting already written coredump data thereby corrupting the dump. I don't think skipping backwards has any meaning. So warn and refuse.
