mm: make the page fault mmap locking killable
commit eda00472 upstream. This is done as a separate patch from introducing the new lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper, because while it's an obvious change, it's not what x86 used to do in this area. We already abort the page fault on fatal signals anyway, so why should we wait for the mmap lock only to then abort later? With the new helper function that returns without the lock held on failure anyway, this is particularly easy and straightforward.
