[PATCH 02/18] mm: make vm_mmap killable

[Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org>]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

All the callers of vm_mmap seem to check for the failure already
and bail out in one way or another on the error which means that
we can change it to use killable version of vm_mmap_pgoff and return
-EINTR if the current task gets killed while waiting for mmap_sem.
This also means that vm_mmap_pgoff can be killable by default and
drop the additional parameter.

This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck
waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper
which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress
and reclaim the address space of the victim.
