Alexey Dobriyan 760c6a9139 coredump: clarify "unsafe core_pattern" warning
I was amused to find "unsafe core_pattern" warning having these lines in
/etc/sysctl.conf:

	fs.suid_dumpable=2
	kernel.core_pattern=/core/core-%e-%p-%E
	kernel.core_uses_pid=0

Turns out kernel is formally right.  Default core_pattern is just "core",
which doesn't qualify for secure path while setting suid.dumpable.

Hint admins about solution, clarify sysctl names, delete unnecessary '\'
characters (string literals are concatenated regardless) and reformat for
easier grepping.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
