[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.2 165/171] proc: use down_read_killable mmap_sem for /proc/pid/clear_refs

From: Sasha Levin

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c46038017fbdcac627b670c9d4176f1d0c2f5fa3 ]

Do not remain stuck forever if something goes wrong. Using a killable
lock permits cleanup of stuck tasks and simplifies investigation.

Replace the only unkillable mmap_sem lock in clear_refs_write().
