blk-lib: check for kill signal
Some of these block operations can access a significant capacity and take longer than the user expected. A user may change their mind about wanting to run that command and attempt to kill the process and do something else with their device. But since the task is uninterruptable, they have to wait for it to finish, which could be many hours. Check for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to wait for their regretted operation to complete naturally.
