In generic/173, we try to force a CoW to a mmap'd region to fail if
there's no space to actually stage the CoW operation. That failure
comes in the form of a SIGBUS to xfs_io. If the tester just happens to
have a nonzero coresize ulimit set, a core dump is generated and the
test is marked as having failed, even though the dump generation is
exactly the correct behavior.
Therefore, set the coresize ulimit to zero while calling _mwrite_byte.
