On 4.19 and newer kernel, gcore command fails as following:
 
===========================================================
    gcore: invalid structure size: pid_link
           FILE: libgcore/gcore_coredump_table.c  LINE: 423  FUNCTION: pid_alive()

    [./crash] error trace: 7f4a7a6762b8 => 7f4a7a676e0f => 53b391 => 53b316

      53b316: SIZE_verify.part.31+70
      53b391: SIZE_verify+49

    gcore: invalid structure size: pid_link
           FILE: libgcore/gcore_coredump_table.c  LINE: 423  FUNCTION: pid_alive()

    Failed.
===========================================================

That is because struct pid_link is removed and struct pid array is added to
struct signal_struct by commit 2c4704756cab ("pids: Move the pgrp and session
pid pointers from task_struct to signal_struct").

Get the pointer of struct pid from task_struct->thread_pid or
signal_struct->pids[] to fix the failure.
