[PATCH 15/18] uprobes: wait for mmap_sem for write killable

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

xol_add_vma needs mmap_sem for write. If the waiting task gets killed by
the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space
reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving. Wait for the
lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed
while waiting.
