[PATCH] fs: proc: use down_read_killable in proc_pid_cmdline_read()

[Yang Shi]

When running vm-scalability with large memory (> 300GB), the below hung
task issue happens occasionally.

INFO: task ps:14018 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

When manipulating a large mapping, the process may hold the mmap_sem for
long time, so reading /proc/<pid>/cmdline may be blocked in
uninterruptible state for long time.

down_read_trylock() sounds too aggressive, and we already have killable
version APIs for semaphore, here use down_read_killable() to improve the
responsiveness.
