do_coredump: fix the "ispipe" error check

Browse Source 
do_coredump() assumes that if format_corename() fails it should return
-ENOMEM.  This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can propagate
the error from d_path.  Even if it was true, this is too fragile.  Change
the code to check "ispipe < 0".
