proc: use down_read_killable mmap_sem for /proc/pid/map_files

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

It seems ->d_revalidate() could return any error (except ECHILD) to abort
validation and pass error as result of lookup sequence.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix proc_map_files_lookup() return value, per Andrei]
