[PATCH] mm, gup: return EINTR when gup is interrupted by fatal signals

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

EINTR is the usual error code which other killable interfaces return.
This is the case for the other fatal_signal_pending break out from
the same function. Make the code consistent.

ERESTARTSYS is also quite confusing because the signal is fatal and so
no handling will happen before returning to the userspace.
