drm/i915: Use mutex_lock_killable() from inside the shrinker



If the current process is being killed (it was interrupted with SIGKILL
or equivalent), it will not make any progress in page allocation and we
can abort performing the shrinking on its behalf. So we can use
mutex_lock_killable() instead (although this path should only be
reachable from kswapd currently).

Tvrtko pointed out that it should also be reachable from debugfs, which
he would prefer retain its interruptiblity. As a compromise, killable is a
step in the right direction!
