The reproducer is trying to allocate 64TB of disk space on /dev/nullb0 using fallocate()
but __blkdev_issue_zero_pages() cannot bail out upon SIGKILL (and therefore cannot
terminate for minutes). Can we make it killable? I don't know what action is needed
for undoing this loop...

        while (nr_sects != 0) {
                bio = blk_next_bio(bio, __blkdev_sectors_to_bio_pages(nr_sects),
                                   gfp_mask);
                bio->bi_iter.bi_sector = sector;
                bio_set_dev(bio, bdev);
                bio_set_op_attrs(bio, REQ_OP_WRITE, 0);

                while (nr_sects != 0) {
                        sz = min((sector_t) PAGE_SIZE, nr_sects << 9);
                        bi_size = bio_add_page(bio, ZERO_PAGE(0), sz, 0);
                        nr_sects -= bi_size >> 9;
                        sector += bi_size >> 9;
                        if (bi_size < sz)
                                break;
                }
                cond_resched();
        }
