Subject: [PATCH 12/18] aio: make aio_setup_ring killable

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

aio_setup_ring waits for mmap_sem in writable mode. 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. This will also expedite
the return to the userspace and do_exit.
